There's no straightforward mechanism to identify how rapidly the system uses battery while it's suspended, and the granularity of the battery reporting when compared with the low rate of consumption means that waking up an hour before the battery is exhausted just isn't a goal we're likely to hit - the margin for error is just too large. Apple have the benefit of controlling the hardware and so can manage this more easily.
More usefully, pretty much any modern system will automatically resume when the battery critical line is triggered. The OS will then, if appropriately configured, hibernate.

Interesting, esp the last thing you say - doesn't work on my Vaio but I can imagine it wakes up and goes to suspend-to-ram directly again ;-)

I thought apple was actually doing suspend-to-disk at the same time as you put your laptop to sleep, not when it noticed the battery was almost dead. Has that changed recently?
