Hmm. But we're seeing some machines that end up very confused if rebooted via ACPI. I guess we need to run Vista on them to find out how they behave. What OSI strings did your KVM setup expose? We know that Windows changes behaviour under various circumstances depending on which OS the firmware requests, so it's almost possible that this is another of those cases.

Isn't it the other way around? The firmware changes behavior depending on how the OS identifies itself?

Reboot is a fixed feature IIRC, so it cannot change depending on identification strings.
