But most software has to be written to handle unexpected issues (ie hardware or other software that does not work as expected) - Its an unfortunate truth. The only way around this is to make software and hardware "closed source" - where you can guarentee everything will work, as you control all aspects. I had been running your "traditional" version (force shutdown), since the beginning and it worked great (I had Windows power management turned off as such). Recently I tried your new alpha build and relied on MS power management.
