Microsoft manages to do it most of the time, but really, sleep and hibernate functionality has always been pretty spotty in Windows. I can't count the number of times I've opened my laptop bag to find a burning hot computer because it came back on and ran in a padded bag with the lid closed for several hours. And there is no version of Windows that can suspend in the middle of playing a game and resume it.

That's good context as well. It's nowhere near as bad as it was in the Vista days, but it's not flawless in the Windows camp either. I guess my point is that if Windows can do it somewhat decently, there's hope for Valve to improve as well. This is going to be the first release of their console OS, so it might be a can of worms they just didn't want to open just yet.
