A safety recovery mechanism is now included. If someone leaves the machine in portable desktop mode, and disconnects their portable device from the machine...the recovery mechanism will execute amongst a restart and return the computer to normal. Restarting is probably one of the first things the computer owner would do if they came to their machine and see it's not quite right.
