This article is a little misleading. Suspending to disk and later resuming is
still rebooting. Yes, your session is saved, but  it's still a far cry from
"virtualization nirvana". Suspending one OS and resuming another is likely to
lead to weird hardware behavior and is downright dangerous if you share
filesystems.
