Vista (and Windows 7) boot from "hybrid sleep" in less time than it takes my monitor to turn on.

Power draw in "hybrid sleep" is negligible (less than the idle power draw of my 2 LCD monitors in sleep mode).

I thought "hybrid sleep" just meant that the machine is in sleep, but it can also transition to hibernation if your battery runs low.

IIRC it transitions into hibernation after 'x' hours of no activity ( I believe x == 6 ), not sure.
