Well, windows should broadcast a WM_POWERBROADCAST message with wParam equal to PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC to all apps in this situation. But I doubt that windows will let apps know that it plans on going immediately into hibernation. Apps will just receive another WM_POWERBROADCAST, PBT_APMSUSPEND pair as the system prepares to hibernate. This suspend, wakeup, hibernate dance does seem kind of silly...and almost seems like a holdover from the old Windows 3 days when each hardware vendor had to provide their own suspend / hibernation facility. I've got the Windows 7 RC1 on my laptop. I should try this out and see if win7 handles this with any more aplomb...e.g. hybrid sleep slipping directly into hibernation.
