Do people have success powering off such machines with other open source operating systems? If so, we could check to see if they have a magical quirk that fixes this. I'll try powering off my x60s with Linux later, I think I still have a USB key somewhere that boots into Linux. Anyone else? > Maybe it is an idea to complain to the vendor.
