Wtf, really? That was one of the features I used to show as a sensible difference between mac and PC... that a windows pc will just shut down your computer if you mistakenly touch the power button while handling it, whilst a mac wouldn't...
- darrenkopp 13y agoWhat happens when you press the power button is configurable in windows, and I would guess that by default it shuts down on a desktop and sleeps on a laptop. The problem here is that Apple put the power button above the delete button and you end up sleeping your computer very often just because you miss the delete key.
