Changing the settings when we close the lid does not help. I want the laptop
to go to sleep when I close the lid. I do not want to shut down close the
lid then come back later to work and have to wait for the OS to finish
shutting down. It just seems like an oversight in design. I should not have
to wait until it shuts down to close the lid.
It is very annoying that suspend/sleep interrupts the shutdown and should be
a relatively easy fix to put into SP1. The OS should have a flag stating
that it is shutting down. When another command tries to put the OS the
sleep, it should just check that flag.
