This applies to any industry where forced upgrades are needed.
However, you don't see cars going off the road because of minimal speed limits on the highways.

What are you talking over here? I do not understand what you are saying. How has proprietary SW hurted the environment more than Linux? Surely all these free CDs for Linux things are not very much green neither?

So all those shiny new machines needed to run Vista come out of thin air. Those high powered graphics adapters required to run Aero
suck their power from lightning

And the machines Linux can be running on for DB servers and games? You are not surely serious about this bullshit? God. I think you are
being adament that Windows is to blame. What is the energy wasted making 350 distros then if not wasteful for choice? Crazy talking.

If Microsoft is green, why have they not support Wake-on-LAN with their SMS 2003? Wake-on-LAN has been around for a while.

Q. Does SMS 2003 support Wake on LAN technology?

A. Wake on LAN technology allows a computer to enter a powered-down or sleep state, but enter an active state upon receiving specific network packets. SMS 2003 does not currently include Wake on LAN technology, though there are some third-party applications that provide Wake on LAN within SMS.

SMS does not support Wake-On-LAN out of the box. However SMSWakeUp from 1E is an integrated product that provides this functionality:
