This is part of what makes Vista so... .... "Loveable". My T60 will hibernate in around 30 seconds, and sleep in around 15 seconds. That is much faster than power down and power up, but much slower than XP was. Windows 7, on the other hand will hibernate and sleep faster than XP.

I rarely use Hibernation, but in XP I notice my Wife's T42 hibernates much faster than my T42.

My T42 has a faster processor, faster GPU, and faster hard drive than my wife's. Go figure.

and how come MS still didn't fix it?

Does your system also have more memory? Bigger chunk of memory will take longer to write to disk. My problem (?) with a Vista machine's hibernation is that it seems to have woken up on its own. I was sure that I press Fn+F12 and watched the screen go dark but the following morning it was sitting at the Windows login screen .

Despite not liking OS X (I actually tried to use it for the better part of 6 months) this is one area where Microsoft needs to take a lesson. The old black MacBook sleeps and wakes up nearly instantly, even when switching between office (ethernet) and home (wireless). It would seem to me that rather than the OS, this should be something handled at the processor level (INTEL, ARE YOU LISTENING) and then the OS only enables the feature.
