I wonder who came up with ACP and ACPI

ACP is a standard that was jointly developed by Intel and Microsoft


ACPI is a standard that was jointly developed by Intel, Microsoft, Toshiba, HP and Pheonix BIOS.

Incase if you are wondering what ACP and ACPI are, they are the industry standard interface for power conservation

I dont see any IBM, SUN, RedHat involved anywhere in any power conservation.

To top it off Windows offers the best power management features of any OS out there.

I dont see any Linux providing DECENT power conservation at all eg does not support hibernation.



Below is a link that shows a chart which displays the power consumption of CPU's and I think if you can read English you'll see x86 use less power than PowerPC.

Clearly shows that *nix people are just FUDsters who dont do anything useful but just sit around and complain about others and worse off lie about others.
