    just wondering if there's anything that would give me the functionality to wake windows (vista) from sleep mode by opening the lid. i know osx has this ability, but all google comes up with is mac info or pc people having problems with sleep after closing their lids in windows. i would like to be able just open the lid and get working. i know there's no problem with just hitting the spacebar or power button but i'm curious. =)

    anything? from ms or a third party or whatever.
