An interesting news item popped up this week, which got me wondering about a new way for Unix to stand out in the marketplace. Network World released a report focusing on power consumption comparison tests that were run between Linux and Windows 2008 on Dell, IBM and HP machines. The findings? Overall, the Linux server saved 12 percent more power than the Windows platform. Given a world where energy costs are going through the roof, these savings are pretty significant.
