I second that opinion.  I am surprised, however, that your experience is 
that Windows does suspention/hibernation better than linux.  Oddly my 
experience has been the opposite (on a 600x at least).  Windows NT (ah, 
maybe that was the difference) refused to hibernate with the pcmcia 
cards inserted, and it died if I ejected the cards (or at least I would 
lose the network from that point on)

Bottom line is of course, to decide what it is that you really need your 
machine to do.  Not everyone *really* needs one particular OS...

Good points, and thanks!
