No one should be pressing the power button and thinking it is shutting down the computer. That’s user error.

Cant believe those idiots thought the power button would control power to the device. What idiots.

It does, but it doesn’t shut down by default and hasn’t for a loooooong time. Ever, probably. Even my old 186 you had to hold it down to shut it down.

Power doesn’t mean “shut down”. Never has.
