According to a White Paper written by PC Pro, businesses can save almost $100 USD per PC by using the new power management facilities of Windows Vista.
Most of these savings will be because of the default power-management settings of Vista, which puts the PC into "Sleep mode" after an hour of inactivity.
Windows XP, which on default leaves the computer running idle, wastes large amounts of energy if OEMs, third-party software or employees didn't apply standby settings.
The sleep mode in Vista is more reliable than XP's equivalent "Standby setting" and your Vista PC will come back from sleep mode in a couple of seconds, very fast considering the mode it is awaking from.
The White Paper reports that these settings can save almost $100 per desktop especially if the administrator uses the new power management "Group Policy." The settings also help your business become more green friendly, sharply cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
