Hibernation options on laptops

[Edward Glowacki]

OK, I was browsing for more info on hibernating my laptop and found
 
http://www.mobilix.org/Mobile-Guide.db/mobile-guide-p2c1s8-apm.html

At the very bottom of the page it mentions "software suspend",
which in the words of the page "...may even be better than hibernate,
because now I can suspend my Linux system, boot into Microsoft
Windows, perform a few illegal operations and be shut down, and
then restart my Linux setup exactly where I left off! This is
something that cannot be done with hibernation, since that always
restores the last state that you suspended from, be it Microsoft
Windows or Linux. So if I want to switch to Microsoft Windows to
play games or do anything else, I can leave my Linux desktop exactly
as it is and return to how I left it."

Anyone tried this?
