http://blogs.technet.com/aralves/archive/2007/09/18/technet-magazine-goes-green.aspxThe October edition of TechNet Magazine goes Green. Green is a hot topic and I think that we as an IT community don't do enough to make sure we don't waste energy. How many of you shutdowns his PC or has a server running constantly at home? I have toenCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.technet.com/aralves/archive/2007/09/18/technet-magazine-goes-green.aspx#1985412Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:03:00 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1985412kaiser<p>I'm just curious, if MS is going green , how much petroleum is in their products?? I mean the plastic for the computers or CD's or packaging. I mean if they are going green , what are they doing to reduce petroleum usage which if I'm not mistaken is the largest contributor to green house gases. Just a thought......</p> http://blogs.technet.com/aralves/archive/2007/09/18/technet-magazine-goes-green.aspx#1985509Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:22:40 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1985509aralves<p>I don't say MS is going Green I say that the hole IT industry should look at energy consumption and you are right I would like to know what can be changed. An example could be only deliver software online no cd with in boxes anymore. What are hardware manufacturers doing to reduce the waste on material used for the pc housing, etc ...</p> <p>Another option is how is MS optimizing their datacenters, are we optimizing our processes, are we using Green Energy etc ....</p> <p>There is a lot to talk about.</p>
