Windows For off Windows XP machines offer several options - including hibernate, stand by and shut down. However, many users don't know the difference. What's worse, however, is that applications and drivers can veto a user's decision to hibernate or similar. In Vista however, applications will be warned that a computer is entering sleep and have a second or two to save what ever they need to, but the programs won't get a say in whether the machine slumbers.

This man knows what he's talking about. For real PC users, Windows XP and OS X are the solution.

Explain how you'd run OS X on a regular PC? You can't, unless you want to resort to using an unsupported, hacked, unstable, and virtually driver-less development edition of it.
