hmmm... may be i'm wrong,... but an IPC mechanism for drivers (D-BUS based or some other form talked above) could be the help to implement proper HOT-Pluggin across the board,... as well as suspend to disk,... as well as proper power saving modes to all categorys of hardware that compose a computer...

Although i not the right person to discuss such details, and i'm not trying to sell nothing to nobody.

By the way,... IMO was closed platforms not exactly hardware/software, but *MOSTLY HARWARE* for in house comsuption only, that not only killed DELL, but almost killed Apple, until they changed to PCI and ATA/SATA, and also kicked the well of P4 sells when Intel insisted on RAMBUS,... and is definitely pushing SUN into the edge... So having *no form at all what so ever or not* of a standard for hardware device drivers had nothing to do with those mysfortunes... Just look at Microsoft with their WinHEC specifications,... hein!??
