I don't like it much, as it creates ( in my case) a permanent 6GB file on disc (as I have 6GB RAM) in order to support the hibernate facility. disabling the option frees up the disc space.
Not to derail this thread TOO much but a useful tidbit of information; if your Windows 7 machine will NOT hibernate, open an Administrator level command prompt, and type
Code:
powercfg -requests
. This will show possible devices / programs / etc that are preventing Windows from hibernating. These can then be overriden via use of
Code:
powercfg -requestsoverride
with the correct, arcane options.

One common device that prevents hibernation is the Creative X-Fi sound card.
