Microsoft Windows XP and Hibernation Failure

So today I discovered why my notebook was failing to hibernate when I closed the lid on Windows XP, thanks to Scott Hanselman.

Scott's article can be found here.

The bug affects all computers that had more than 1GB of RAM. Microsoft finally released a hotfix to the problem here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909095

Why did Microsoft wait so long to release this to the public? It appears they had this available for awhile, but you had to call PSS to get it.

That's quite worrying.

I have an XP system on a UPS and rely on the hibernate feature during power loss, and now that I've upgraded from 1GB to 3, knowing my luck hibernate will probably be useless.

Good old microsoft, talk about restricting/limiting the usefulness of your PC lol.
It's almost as if they want you to buy (sorry, "licence") windows, and then not use it, hmm, funny that.
