Yep, sending more WOL packets would not do anything once the PC is
woken.

When the PC goes back to standby, the next WOL packet would wake it
again.
But I don't think I'd fancy having the SB constantly re-awakening the
PC. The strain on the HD especially is something I'd like to avoid.

It's also ironic that Microsoft thinks that 2 minutes is sufficient to
install any of their patches. SP2 takes about an hour to install.

There should definitely be an option in Windows or the NIC driver to
keep the PC awake when it's woken by WOL.

I'm going to get back in contact with Microsoft on Monday to follow up
on this issue.

I'm curious to know if Linux or OS-x behave the same.
