I had discovered this chap's work a few months ago. Back then it was a very long PDF that was an lengthy exposition on the differences between OS X and Windows XP.
He did his best to provide an unbiased view and it was very thorough. Now it is available as a Web site. I was googling for "hibernate" and "OS X" when I came across it. A couple of my fellow PMs and I were having a discussion as to whether one actually needed the hibernate feature of XP (which saves the contents of RAM to disk and then shuts off the power). Personally, I think it isn't terribly useful in a business environment where one is moving from meeting to meeting and the laptop may only be closed for ten-twenty minutes during moves (if that).
With over a minute to start up this gets really tedious.
