A typical office worker may use their computer 40 hours each week.
If the user does not turn off the computer at home time, a staggering 128
additional hours clock up each week.

Many users are very conscientious but, for a variety of reasons, many organisations do not maximise the energy saving features
built-in to modern computers.
Amazingly Microsoft Windows® XP does not allow power functionality to be centrally managed.
Windows Vista / Windows 7 are a little better but, out-of-the-box, later operating systems still offer few choices to organisations
that want to reduce energy wastage but not disrupt the users.
