Hibernate basicaly dumps all the ram content into your hard drive then turns off your pc,when you boot back up it reads that file & put it back to ram just as if you never left windows.:)

'Hibernate mode' in ME is surprisingly stable compared to 'Sleep/Standby mode' in previous versions of the OS.

Yeah.. usually in other windows you would put it to sleep.. but it wouldn't wake up again.. kind of like putting an old dog to 'sleep'..
