Most computers will simply switch off. Windows will usually try to check the hard-drive for errors on restoration of power. A computer that's connected to an un-interruptable power supply (UPS) will carry on as if nothing has happened. A UPS gives the user time to shut the computer down properly. Computers are usually connected to a UPS in places like hospitals, police/fire stations etc.

One advantage of the internal battery in a laptop is, if there is a sudden power outage, the battery will continue to power the laptop until the battery runs down.
