Power Consumption & Management: Windows Vista Versus Windows XP
Overview It is important to note that the financial and carbon-dioxide savings are not due to a PC running Windows Vista consuming less power per task than a PC running Windows XP (for example, typing up a document in Microsoft Word will consume very similar amounts of power). Instead, it is based on real-world usage of computers. In particular, the habit of computer users to leave their PCs running even when not in use. This is more relevant to Windows Vista, as opposed to Windows XP, due to the addition of advanced power management to Group Policy, the improved reliability of Sleep mode, and, most importantly, Vista PCs being automatically put into Sleep mode after an hour of non-use.
