Default Standby vs hibernate?

Hi Noncompliant:

Actually, you can bypass the start menu. If the focus is on the
desktop, then hit [Alt]+[F4]. (If the desktop does not have the
focus, then click it first.)

Your point about MS prevarications still applies, however; no matter
how one gets there, the window title still says, "Turn off
computer".

PS: For the reader who wonders why they can't see a Hibernate icon
on the "Turn off computer" window, hold down one of the shift keys;
this causes the Standby icon to change to the Hibernate icon.

Neither one turns the computer off.

Note, in XP, you have to click start, turn off computer, to get
to any of these...
ONLY one selection within "turn off computer" actually turns off
the computer.
More MS prevarications.
Prior MS 98/ME selections were straightforward and truthful.

Can someone please explain the difference between stanby and
hibernate? Does either take the place of shutting down the
computer at night?
