The Green Party put forward a soberingly sound argument that software upgrades in general (And Vista in particular.) were environmentally damaging, oweing to the mass of functional hardware that gets junked because "It isn't fast enough.".

Your post makes me wonder what the energy costs of such upgrades are.

In turn that raises the question of how many corporate resources are donated to @home projects by sysadmins each year.
