1) Why not use hibernate?
2) The tap to click "feature" is often controlled by the touchpad software.

That's another highly annoying thing about Windows. It's not consistent machine-to-machine, because hardware vendors load it up with a bunch of crapware tied to their hardware. Why should I need to use vendor-specific crapware to configure a touchpad, rather than using a configuration module built into the OS and accessible in Control Panel, which looks and works the same no matter what machine I'm on (assuming it has a touchpad)? On Linux, it's all the same; the userspace programs are part of the OS distro (KDE for instance has its own touchpad configuration module), and work using standardized interfaces with device drivers for devices from different vendors.
