Changes to "key" parts of Windows 8 are coming

I once used a laptop for a two hour hackathon. The risk, price, performance, and power ratios of owning a desktop versus a laptop never quite added up to me.

My wife knows (from some prior experience) that unplugging the computer without shutting down can be dangerous. She also knows that putting the computer to sleep will lock the computer and not let friends/child on the desktop without asking for a password.

I think it's the tech savvy crowd that doesn't bother to put their computers to sleep...just ctrl-alt-delete lock and go to lunch...like a phone it will (hopefully) goto sleep, and if it doesn't, not my power bill.

I guess if I had a desktop PC at home, life would be different, but I haven't had one of those since 2001.
