Comment 67 for bug 1283589

Behaviourally Windows works correctly, I've actually restored the factory load onto my Series 9 as the behaviour of this bug means that Linux is just untenable. By behaviourally I mean that things like power options change correctly when the AC is attached and detached. One of the most impactful implications of this bug was that if the AC was attached after being started on battery the system would still consider itself to be discharging and do things like suspend/hibernate after 10 minutes of inactivity, not what you want if the machine is plugged in a playing music etc. This sort of switch works as expected in Windows. So, it may be that the Windows user-space just looks at different properties and "does the right thing" or it may be that the bug doesn't exist. Either way, the user experience "works" in Windows and doesn't work in Linux and that at the end of the day is the important thing.
