Want To Save Energy? Buy More Software
    Microsoft has been making some decent efforts in the area of green computing. 
  A nearly free hypervisor is one great move.
Now Microsoft is touting the benefits of System 
  Center Configuration Manager, which is Energy Star-compliant by virtue of 
  its ability to configure hardware to hibernate, sleep and shut down when not 
  in use. 
My only complaint? Vista is a huge hardware hog, meaning we're wasting lots 
  of watts running this OS -- at least, those of you that have taken the plunge. 
Is your shop energy-aware? If so, what do you do to save on power? Give us 
  your best suggestions by writing [email protected].
