It does.  That would appear to be the end of that discussion.

Seriously, you can't just assume that if something doesn't work for you it's
a serious flaw in Ubuntu and someone had damn well better fix it right
away.  If it got into the final release of the product, it's almost
certainly not a _common_ error, and if you have a problem, you need to
provide the developers with a _detailed_ explanation of exactly what
happens, and what you've tried to get around it.

That said, there are iirc three different ways to handle hibernate/suspend,
so if you can't make it work as-is, look into uswsusp and suspend2.

Irrelevant.  I talked about what I currently have experience with.  Vista is
pathetic, but I cited my experience with XP, too.

well, no.  XP is more than a minute faster _for you_.  For me, even though I
have everything but the kitchen sync installed on Ubuntu, and practically
nothing in Windows, XP boots in about the same time (slightly longer than
Ubuntu).
