Linux captures the 'green' flag, beats Windows 2008 power-saving measures
,----[ Quote ]
| Our tests point to Linux as the winner of the green flag by margins that
| topped out at 12%. But we must note that our results are full of stipulations
| imposed by our test bed, and as the more truthful car advertisements might
| warn -- your wattage may vary.

Linux, Windows duke it out over energy efficiency
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux appears to have an advantage at the moment: Companies are becoming
| increasingly open to adopting the platform both in the server room and on the
| desktop. Big-name vendors like IBM, HP, and Novell are giving the penguin a
| push in the datacenter, framing it as a flexible and energy-efficient
| platform. The fact that Linux offers greater virtualization opportunities
| than Windows (a sentiment recently expressed by the VMWare CTO Mendel
| Rosenblum) only strengthens the platform's green standing.

GNU/Linux is the most power-efficient OS on Intel hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| According to a keynote given at OSCON, Intel's PowerTOP application has
| allowed developers to get a close-up view of what is sucking power in a
| GNU/Linux system. Apparently they've gotten so much feedback and patches that
| they've been able to extend battery life by an hour since the first release,
| making GNU/Linux the best OS for power saving.
