Vista's laptops wake-up duration versus Apple's iBook wake-up

Hi all,

I am an XP users on Thinkpad
It takes quite a while for putting my XP Thinkpad to sleeps (close the lid and wake a few seconds) and it takes some time to wake it up (like 8-10 seconds)
It struck me that my friend's iBook can wake up instantly without much delay, like around 1 second / in a blink...

I think this instant-wakeup feature is a very pursuable goal if Vista really wants to please the laptop / mobile users make Vista wakes up like the WindowCE does
In some sense, this can be much more important than letting the users to have a sideshow display...

Hope this can be achieved in Vista

- So

One way that Mac OS acheives this is that it does not do the equivalent of Hibernate, but of Sleep. It does not completely shut down, but keeps ram and other services powered up. This draws power and can mean a long stay in your bag will crash the system. Vista is supposed to have a better solution than XP that combines Sleep and Hibernate. It is not clear yet how good the Vista version of this will be.
