RE: [OT] Vista Media Centre + Suspend / Hibernate

Indeed. I'm still using XP MCE and it just works.

If you're already running Vista Ultimate, I'd have thought it was quicker
to
try it out than to type your e-mail, though!

If Vista MCE is like XP MCE then don't you just hit the standby button in
the MCE UI and it does this for you??  This is how I used my XP MCE machine
up till we went Sky HD.  IIRC you could set MCE to do Standby or Hibernate.
