> Back in the early 00's none of that suspend, sleep and restore stuff worked right on Windows laptops. Bullshit. It worked fine. But only if you bought a proper laptop (mid-high end IBM + HP etc). If you bought a crapfest machine cobbled together by the lowest bidder, you got what you paid for... Hell we had internal Windows NT machines up for 3-5 years at one point. Windows doesn't go wrong unless you throw crappy hardware at it. The bad rep by shoddy hardware vendors is why they invested heavily in WHQL and testing and qualification. And as for laughing at the business folk when their machines won't hibernate, that stinks of typical Linux smugness which in this area is certainly not justified. Linux's ACPI implementation is shitty and has never worked properly. I've have well over 50 Linux based laptops pass through my hands in the last 15 years and like hell hibernate/suspend works on any of them.
