Has anyone noticed odd behavior by the illuminated keyboard on the uni 15" MBP? I've been using mine about a week now and noticed, in Windows, that they seem to fade in and fade out entirely randomly. Also, I had them turned off then they suddenly came on full force today while I was working in a Word doc. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks.
 
This is because of the Auto Keyboard Illumination Settings which make it brighter when your isight webcam in your screen detects low light levels, however sometimes it will illuminate the keyboard if your shadow even falls on the isight, its hyper sensitive. If its annoying you can deactivate it.

System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Keyboard
Untick "Illuminate Keyboard in Low Light Conditions"

Which would be in OSX, but is there a way to deactivate it in Windows?
