Why do you have hardware that stays on even when you turn it off?
Because that's what the motherboard and power supply vendors conspired to do. Likely the same reason YOU have hardware that stays on when
you turn it off...as does your VCR, TV, Microwave, PDA, Laptop,
car radio, coffee pot, air conditioner
printer, camera, telephone, electric blanket, blood pressure monitor,
stereo...anything with a clock, remote or soft power switch...

The feature I happen to use is power-on via keystroke.
I want that feature more than I want the ability to run linux.
