WinXP has some strange restoration behaviors: some computers come out of
both standby and hybernation with everything working as before. Some lose
devices. It's a crapshoot until you learn the foibles of the computer in
question.
To be fair to Microsoft, this is almost always due to bugs in 3rd party device
drivers and not Windows itself. Microsoft provides many tools that torture
test and otherwise check drivers for possible bugs, and unfortunately plenty
of developers (even large companies) just don't bother to use them. How many
products have you seen where the driver installation instructions include the
step of "tell Windows you don't care that the driver hasn't passed Windows
Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) testing... but to install it anyway?"
