On a sidenote; how I despise the Capitalization rules. It's just a
show of "a pretty gui" at the cost of proper grammar.


My suggestion for the sleep info text:

Sleep will shut down your computer, retain everything in memory (using
a small amount of power) and instantaneously present you with the
desktop you left once you start the computer again.

Though that's a bit too long, perhaps. In any case, please drop the
"press any key", because this is not how things work on all laptops,
and is bound to confuse users when they "press any key" and have
nothing happen.
