Does anyone else keeps hibernating his Win-Machine instead of actually powering it down?

...or does nobody use Windows? ;)

*raises hand*

I hibernate everytime.

Sleep...
Hibernate takes too long and uses too much disk space. Even with a fast SSD and VMware gets grumpy when waking up from hibernation vs. sleep.
VMware+Linux for main development.
Windows for MSSQL and C# development.

I just have it set to turn off the display and leave it running 24/7. It backs up at night.

Hibernate during the week. Power off at the weekend

Does it has a power down?

@rclemens It's called "out of battery"

My work machine is a laptop with a docking station, and it is set to hibernate on close. That means at the end of the day I just undock and go. Then when I redock the next day everything is where I left it!

Of course, I still like to do a full shutdown / restart every now and again.... Because Windows...

it's a shame they are hiding hibernation deactivated somewhere in the settings on win8+, if so many people are using it...
MS actually :P

I shutdown my Mac, but I've scheduled it to turn on every morning, so it's ready for work.

Not since I started using SSDs. I just shut down now and I'm back up in less than a minute:-D

yope since win 2k ;)
