Windows 7 to get ‘instant on’ mode?

Or just use S3 suspend rather than powering off. The computer will resume instantly when you push the power button.

NTFS is not, nor has ever been journaled, which is why even today Vista requires ocational defragmentation.

Um, what does journaling have to do with need of defragmentation?

I never saw chkdsk run in Win2000 whenever it went down, but that does not make NTFS as seen in all of the later NT based windows releases any more a Journaled filesystem then the Amiga's FFS.

NTFS does have metadata journaling. Amiga FFS doesn't have any, not even atomic commits.

Sorry to bring up an old thread like this, but I hate seeing disinformation.

Usually windows just say that it is getting ready for suspend mode and right after "everything" shutsdown it powers it self right back up

I've seen this happen with certain older desktops. Usually disabling some USB wake up options cure it.
