    is it true?
    when physically press the power button once or click the default off icon in
    Windows Vista.
    system goes to standby mode, not power-off ??

    is the standby mode in Vista is identical to the one in XP?

    I remember i was once manually set my laptop at standby mode and keep it in
    my bag for hours and find that my bag is a bit warm. so i will never use
    standby mode again even it resume system much faster than power-off mode.

    you answered your own major point in the tile - "by default" - if you don't
    like it change it, just set it to shutdown instead.
