The problem I found was the Task Scheduler thing. It was a deal killer, as I use Windows Home Server, where all my computers are backed up to the server each night. On the Hackbook, that wasn't happening anymore, because the computer wasn't waking up for it at the proper time (it has to wake up and start the backup within the backup window as the server understands it). So, if it wakes up 8 hrs late or 8 hrs early it is not within the window, and it doesn't work.fiddymac said:Hmmm, Interesting, well, I did actually find the registry hack, and went ahead with it, which currently seems to work, and since I'm really only using Windows for things like certain android hacks (some stuff is just easier to do from Windows than from Mac, and I can get kinda lazy). If I see any negative results, I'll definitely drop the hack...
I would imagine the same issue will affect all jobs meant to be scheduled in the middle of the night: Virus scans, disk defrag, etc. That said, the way you're using Windows, you probably won't have any issues.
