IMHO windows have no way to know you are moving your laptop (no accelerometer on board, nor GPS), but probably it parks heads more often when disconnected from main supply.
Actually, some laptops (notably ThinkPads) do have accelerometers on board to detect the case of the laptop being dropped and park the heads accordingly. I seem to recall that there are drivers in the vanilla kernel source code for the accelerometers in these laptops, although I thought that last time I compiled a kernel (which was, admittedly, several versions ago) that they were experimental...
