Have all your running task into memory/hard disc and shut down, different from Sleep, Sleep is just like XP's Standby.
Note: XP also has Hibernate.

Stops all CPU and disk activity, but remembers the state when you started to hibernate, so when you start up again its starts in the same state. So for e.g. if you had a program open, it would be open again when you logged back in. Its different from stand by which doesn't shut off the CPU and n some cases the disk

it writes the memory in ram to the hdd, so you can pick up where you left off. Ram is volatile, when you turn your pc off, it empties....when you hibernate, it replaces that memory from the disk image it made.
