I think it hibernates just the kernel, so it isn't a complete reboot. I think if you choose restart from the start menu, it'll fully reboot. Shutdown hibernates it though.
Got a tip for us?

I have to reboot my air a lot more than I have ever had to reboot a window PC. Because of a bug that makes the laptop heat up to 80C without any CPU being used... and it doesn't go away until you restart.
My Win 7 box runs constantly. The only time it reboots is after an update which is pretty much the same as my Mac.
Wish mine did
My work computer constantly freezes
Outlook hangs whenever I try to do anything
Windows Explorer crashes on me
IT has looked at it several times and do nothing
Frustrating
I bring my Air to work to get things done

I would say it is a hardware issue most likely. My work computers also stay up and running for long periods of time. That being said, I have had machines that didn't like memory or something and caused all sorts of issues.
Funny thing... I just woke my air and was reading this thread when I noticed the air felt a little warm.
Note the temperature up top:
Edit: Just noticed I forgot to check "All Processes" But usually nothing there to report either, and like always a reboot fixed it.
Since I boot my computer about once every 1-2 weeks, I don't really care saving 10 secs when I do.
But it's cool anyway.
