Of course this comes with the penalty of an extra file on the root of C taking up 1% of the HD space.
That's a pretty good feature. Can you leave it in Suspended mode indefinitely? Given what a pig of an operating system Windows is, a shorter boot time would probably be worth a fraction of HD space.
