One evening last month I noticed, that when closing the lid on my laptop it switched to Suspend to Ram Mode. I never knew that behavior before, it must have come with the update to XfCE 4.4.
Since that point I have been using that "feature" quite often and my Linux always did wake up again when opening the lid. And all that "out of the box", without the usual work before (in German I would call it "frickeln", but I don't know a good translation for that term
).
To a RedmondOS user this probably is no big deal, but to me it has been a quite pleasant surprise.
