Well, I'm not sure we should go *that* far, but at one point Linux was
definitely more energy-efficient than Win95.  :-)

I would hope it is also more energy-efficient than WinXP, but at least
NT knew how to halt (and not in the sense of "freeze up and wait for
the three-fingered salute", either -- though it did that too :-) ).
