We (well, specifically, Jeff) had this implemented and working in Windows 95 but discovered to our dismay that there were many laptops (some from a major manufacturer) which would lock up unrecoverably if you issued a HLT instruction.

ganz liebe geschichte.. eigentlich kann ich nämlich die aussage, dass alles was microsoft baut schrott ist nicht mehr hoeren... keinesfalls, sind alle M$ produkte genial, noch - kann ich zT ihre markt gewohnheiten gutheissen... jedoch ist sicher nicht alles schlecht - ohne billi boy und seine firma wären wir sicher nicht dort wo wir uns heutzutage in der IT befinden...
