I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

It’s also that “Shutdown” doesn’t shut the computer down. It puts it into a sleep mode so it will “boot” faster next time

The hibernation mode has more wake up sources than if it was actually off

Is that actually a windows thing though? I know i can set up that shit in the mobo's bios, from turning on the computer at specific times to keeping the peripherals on when shutdown.

It depends on the wake up source you’re talking about, but, yes

Your BIOS can configure the hardware, then Windows gets to modify parts of the configuration through ACPI
