> You go home. So you shut things down.

Sorry for the rant, but this is usually wrong. The amount of people that just keeps their computer on is noticeable. And when I ask it's usually "just to avoid having to wait" or "I've always done that".

I personally always hibernate my computer. When I turn it off it takes more time, but I'm already on the other side of the building so I don't care. When I turn it on it takes basically the same amount of time, and it is exactly as I left it. People keep the computer on just because convenience...and I don't think it's a good thing.
