| + | ===== Plea to Microsoft ===== | ||
| + | Ok Microsoft we have had good hardware power management for nearly a decade now and even in windows 8.1 the built-in power management controls... well it sucks. It's so bad that I have lost count of the times I have had a download interrupted or stopped streaming due to Windows going to sleep. I/we should not have to put up with this in 2013 nor was is acceptable in 2007. If you are wondering why computer sales are sliding, that is one of the reasons. Let me give you hint: people like when computers do what they expect and hate when they do things that they do not expect. | ||

| + | On top of this a sub 700k piece of software does everything I expect: don't put my computer to sleep when I'm using it and put it to sleep when I'm not. Now why in the hell can't this be part of windows. Again DON'T **PUT MY COMPUTER TO SLEEP WHEN I'M USING IT** and **PUT MY COMPUTER TO SLEEP WHEN IT'S IDLE** | ||
