Yes, it's worked for me too...now and then. But I can't see much difference between hibernation and standby (I'm sure someone will flame me for this statement) and coming out of standby is almost instant. Whereas sometimes I have had to apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and a lot of thumping of the chest to get my PC to start again after hibernation. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
TD: the next PC I build will be very steampunk with an opening brass porthole in the side so I can reach into the innards and twifddle it instead of having to take the side off.
