The URL for this blurb is on index.blog?start=1175403839 'Microsoft can be Green too'... hey, you gonna eat that pickle? 31mar2007

'Before embarking on an expensive Vista upgrade to achieve green benefits, businesses should spend a much smaller amount on a broad-based education and training program to help staff understand why saving energy is important to the business.'

So in other words, 'if you think Microsoft servers can be treated like IBM servers because the marketing information tries to make it look and sound that way, please invest in some education about what IBM can do regarding energy management via EMPATH and what Microsoft Vista servers can do. We don't want stupid people suing us for thinking we could do energy management.'

I like this quote from 'Businesses shouldn't justify upgrading to Vista just because of improved power management'. HA. You can say that again.

OK

'Businesses shouldn't justify upgrading to Vista just because of improved power management'

There should be a disclaimer on Microsoft marketing literature if they have to caution clients to become more knowledgeable about the subject before you go telling people you're upgrading to Vista because of subject matter X. 'Heh heh yeah we don't do dat. Dees udder guys dey do dat.' 'Yeah. Other guys.'

I would submit and contend they should be sprinkling disclaimers to their developers about a lot more than just energy management. How about maybe software? I mean, a runaway electrical bill because of too many Vistas up at the same time I don't think will be that much of a concern before long. Do you?
