微软透露了一项“操作系统关机专利”。
如果你认为关机是一件十分简单的事情，软件巨人会告诉你其实很复杂，你需要询问用户是否真的要关机，是否还有文件没有保存，整个过程值得专利一下。下次Windows系统关机，你应该能体谅到为什么它偶尔要花几分钟时间才能完成关闭。

"You would think that shutting down software could be fairly simple from an end user's view. If I ask you to shut it down, would you mind shutting it actually down, please? Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, because you need to ask the user if they really want to shut down and if unsaved documents should be saved. And that warrants a patent that also covers Mac OS X. Next time you shut down Windows, remember how complicated it is for Windows to shut down. Perhaps that is the reason why this procedure can take minutes in some cases."
这个是英文版的说明，哈哈。
所有这一切，事实上的情况是这样的，你在笔记本上用过XP吗？你会知道微软有多么的愚蠢： 关机并马上合上盖子——如果合上盖子的操作是睡眠，那么下次你打开盖子的时候电池可能已经没电了；如果合盖被设置为休眠，下次你开机并等待了10分钟的系统恢复后，你会发现你的电脑正在关机。囧囧囧
