I rarely shut down (or ever reboot) any more.  Sleeping Macs is fine even
for extended periods of time.  I've left my computer sleeping for a whole
weekend when I've been out of town.  On the Mac, sleep is wonderful.

On the other hand, my experiences with Wintel and suspend/standby
(equivalent to sleep) has been disasterous (corrupted disks).  I notice that
XP doesn't even let me suspend anymore, just hibernate or shut down.  Could
it be that Microsoft has determined that suspend/standby doesn't work?
