standbuy is similar to the suspend feature found in prior versions of
windows me, 9x and earlyer. hibernation takes the contents of ram, and
stores it on the harddisk usually in a file called hiberfull.sys. this is
done before powering off the computer. When the computer is restarted it
reloads the content of memory and is restored to the state it was in when
hibernation was invoked. Hibernating and later restarting is usually faster
than closing down, later starting up, and starting all the programs that
were running. Going into hibernation requires no user interaction; shutting
down when programs are open either requires programs to be closed properly,
or user interaction to force them to close, with possible loss of data.
this would be quite useful on laptops, netbooks etc

Stand-by or "sleep" depending on your Windows Operationg System just lets
the computer rest. Applications are still open.
Hibernate lets everything rest. It has more to do with the hard drive.
That is what I have been told. Hope this makes sense.
