In fact my experience has been mostly positive, apart from the problem
already mentioned. I've used several Logitech mice plus my current one
(made by Sondstrom). I do have a current issue with sleeping (see
parallel thread) but the mouse has never failed to wake up.

As to why Windows does it better (assuming it actually does): almost
certainly because it has manufacturer-supplied drivers for each model.
