I agree with this assessment. As a data point, my laptop (a dell 700m) worked fine with windows XP.
I'm also having a problem where closing the lid sometimes doesn't suspend. Also closing the lid while in the process of hibernating pauses the hibernation -- this is a real problem, the standard usage pattern is to click "hibernate", close the lid, put it in the laptop bag. If I do this now the computer will overheat and/or run out of batteries fast. I'm thinking I should file another bug report...
