The user gets to choose (unless security policy prevents the user from
choosing) whether the machine will be locked when it goes to sleep.  If
the user selects not to lock the machine when asleep, it will wake up
ready to go -- no password required.

Unfortunately, I think that Windows actually stores your long-term
secret in the volatile info associated with your login session, and it
may just use that when it needs to get new tickets on your behalf.  But
I'm really just half-remembering at this point.
