Another way of putting it is...

Hibernate takes everything in RAM and stores it on the hard drive. When it
comes out of hibernation, it places everything back in RAM just the way it
was before hibernation. I think even items saved on the clipboard are saved
(although not 100% sure on that one).

Hi everyone,
Hibernate and shutting itself off are indeed two different things.
Hibernate shuts down the computer but saves everything the way it was before
shutdown.  If you windows open and programs running, when you turn the
computer back on, those programs will start up again, just like you left it.
You could have been writing a letter in Word.  The Word program would open
and the letter would be there just where you left off writing it. 
 
The automatic shut off happens when you select shut down.  Some computers
are able to turn the power off themselves and others require pressing the
on\off button on the case of the computer.  The hibernate setting has
nothing to do with this.

You can think whatever you want to Emma, but mine doesn't hibernate and it
shuts itself off.
