Last's start with this one, Microsoft goes on the green offensive, claiming that the power saving features in Vista will 'massive' reduce carbon emissions. Uh huh. Maybe, tops, $20 per year per computer, and corresponding carbon. That's non-sneezable, but it will take a long time to payback the $400 for the OS at that rate. Ok, so the white paper says you can save between 23 and 46 Brit pounds per year - Rupert Goodwins called those numbers "fun and games"; let me repeat that. Rupert Goodwins called those numbers "fun and games".
There's a few more nails here, Adobe turning down the Vista updates, PC makers claiming Vista sucks (their words) , 'Soft loosening the license terms for virtualization.
