Really worrying bug in Windows (dual-boot with Dapper, after hibernate)

I think generally speaking, hibernate is not meant for out of the
ordinary setups. For example I remember that hibernate failed to resume
on my machine, because the swap was made of two partitions on two local
disks. No problem going into hibernation, but when resuming, on the
kernel line you can only specify one single swap partition (at least
that's what it says in the Ubuntu wiki when searched for it back
then)... so it would always fail to resume, lock the machine during
start-up, need a reboot then recover itself by doing a normal boot
sequence.
Luckily it was easy to solve: I just unmounted one of the swap
partitions.

In your case I think it's just one more problem people have when
dual-booting Windows. In this very same category, I suffer the "I can
not enjoy automatic summer/winter time adjustments because I must NOT
use "UTC" for the clock, otherwise the clock is messed up every time I
start Windows then go back to Ubuntu" problem.

Fortunately, I very rarely need to use windows, so was able to work
around the problem by using VWware to run Windows from within Linux,
hence no need to reboot. A big thanks to VMware for never failing to
kindly renew the 30 day trial license, month after month.
