If you unplug all devices, USB will power down as much as is compatible with detecting new devices. > Vista not only powers down the USB HCIs and ports on STR, it also > powers down ports when you "safely remove the USB device", and seems > to leave the port powered down until you insert a device (or remove > the device already in there, whatever). If you cut power to a port, you cannot detect a hotplugging. You can suspend it, which Linux does do.
