Anytime you attempt to wake Vista up from Hibernation or "Deep Sleep" (S3-induced sleep mode), it dies. It's either a BSOD, or a driver error, or a broken network, no DWM, lack of sound... the list goes on, and on. So much for an operating system to "power" the future! (No pun intended!) That's with properly-signed drivers and no buggy software on multiple PCs..."

    Well, your Macbook is broken, and you should get Apple to fix it. I've never met a Mac user who would put up with that.

    On the other hand, Windows users are used to that kind of thing. I presume you're new to the Mac?

    ...obviously not "just fine" if it BSODs.
