Unforunatly I think it's a battle lost, I can't remember the last new PC
case that didn't have a soft start button.
The silly thing is that I think 95+% of PC users don't have a need for it
(The Soft start means you can implement a Wake Up on Lan (i.e. remotely
power a machine up which can be useful in very specific circumstances)
The only real use I think PC users make of 'soft' powering, is the 'soft
power down', PC users wouldn't like to wait around for the system to shut
down to then turn the power off, which on a normal RISC OS setup is of
course no problem:-)
