Green, power reduction, and climate change are all the rage these days, and the world of computers is not off the hook on this one. Software and hardware manufacturers are trying hard to keep power consumption down - while first something for mostly mobile computers, desktops and servers are now part of the effort too. PC World tested Windows Server 2008 and two Linux server offerings and compared their power usage patterns.

My MBP, too, lasts considerably longer on OSX than either XP or Kubuntu 8.04
A more interesting, and perhaps fair, comparison would be a custom Linux distro vs OSX on a Hackintosh. Maybe one of those Psystar boxes. Suddendly OSX wouldn't be able to take advantage of all that custom (and in many cases, proprietary) firmware, etc.
I'd love to see the results from that - anyone?
