Intel Releases Several Projects to Help Save Power

GeekyBodhi writes "LessWatts.org is Intel's new website that hosts several power saving tools. As Linux.com reports, it also shares tips and tricks to help optimize power consumption on hardware from portable devices running on batteries to large data centers. 'LessWatts.org is not about marketing, trying to sell you something or comparing one vendor to another. LessWatts.org is about how you can save real watts, however you use Linux on your computer or computers.' As reported on Slashdot earlier, this isn't the first time Intel has tried to help Linux users cut their power bills. In May, the company launched the PowerTOP program that monitors individual processes to keep track of power consumption. The project comes at a time when more vendors are pre-installing Linux on handhelds and laptops." Linux.com and Slashdot are both owned by SourceForge.

Re:Interesting question...

And I suppose some sort of Linux Anti-Virus software would need to be procured and added to the Linux test systems to make it fair... Why? Give each machine whatever it requires to safely accomplish its workload in real-world conditions. If that means loads more anti-virus and IDS/IPS on the Windows machine than on the Linux one, so be it.
