Don't count on it. Each OS has its own drivers for this power and display
management, and each one may have its own quirks.
For example, on my 600, closing the lid with Win95/98/NT4 always turns off
the backlight immediately as it should. Windows 2000 has a major bug: The
backlight stays on when you close the lid--it doesn't go off until there
have been enough idle minutes, just as if the lid were open. Oddly enough,
Windows 2000 does work correctly on my 600E--the backlight does go off when
you close the lid.
