Why should you upgrade to Windows Vista

[Guest - Bobb -]

This is the best Microsoft marketing can do ?

I got this email:

==================

 

TechNet Flash: Special Edition: Why should you upgrade to Windows Vista?

 

Welcome to the special bonus edition of TechNet Flash featuring content

specifically selected to inform and ease your Windows Vista deployment.

.....

 

Every 10 PCs that switch to Windows Vista is the equivalent of taking an

automobile off the road, in terms of greenhouse gases.

Does this mean that Vista is to bloated, clunky and inefficient that

every 10 PC's running it will deprive an automobile of a tank of gas?

Either the URL is wrong or the page has been deleted. I tried to follow it

because I was fascinated to learn how changing XP for a slower more resource

hungry and functionally crippled OS could possibly save greenhouse gases.

Alas, I may never know.

You're right - it changed:

I reclicked my links and they have forwarded URL's - try these:

All of my XP systems are set to turn off the monitors and disks when

they are idle. (I think monitors default to power off even in XP.)

 

95% of the article compares how much energy is saved with a monitor

powered off versus not powered off. That doesn't only happen in Vista!

I configured my Windows 95 computers to do the same thing, 14 years ago.

 

The rest of the info in that article is what I would call "fluff". The

group policy and corporate settings have to be set by someone.

I noticed the same thing. Ther comparison of Vista savings is to a

system left full time with no power saving features at all. Very

realistic.
