I think theres hardly anyone (who doesnt know beforehand) who thinks
the hibernate/sleep functionality is clear. Maybe its been suggested
before, but should we consider renaming these? (regardless of what
other changes are made)
Im not really shure what would be clear, but heres a few out-loud thoughts:
Sleep: Hibernate:
- QuickSleep - DeepSleep(PowerDown)
- - Freeze to Disk
- - DeepFreeze
- - SaveForLater
- EnergySave -
- PowerSave -
- Pause - SessionToDisk
