The point MS is making is that some of the processes of W95 take more time to
shut down than some hardware hibernates will allow.  This seems to be the
case for my 560 with updated DUN and IE4.0.  It was *not* the case with
the factory installed W95, and I don't know if upgrading the thinkpad's
bios will help.  I don't really see this particular problem as Microsoft's
fault - a W95-ready machine (as the thinkpads claim to be) should be clever
enough not to stomp on critical active processes.
