Some microwave ovens have all electronic controls, and some have
electromechanical controls.  The all-electronic models, which
are controlled from a keypad, are the only ones susceptible
to this type of behavior.  Some Amana and Litton models are
available with mechanical knobs to control the duty cycle (cook
control) and time settings.  These models might be a better bet
if you're concerned about this problem.  My Sears microwave
has electronic controls, but I've had no difficulty with
it starting up by itself.  Maybe it was just one model in
particular that had the problem.
