Thanks for your comment

Thanks for your in-put (apart from the hack accusation of course - you can keep that bit)

I realise that PC World may be acting in what it believes is an entirely ethical way - trying to create an environmental alternative platform for future upgrades.

However, I would really question whether Vista with its large footprint and graphic intensive UI is the best most sensible choice for the green PC of the future. This smacks of a way to popularise Vista than a real attempt to solve the problem of how to create a truly energy efficient and sustainable PC.

We are prepared to be proved wrong however and are actively seeking an interview with PC World to find out the reasoning behind this move and to set out their strategy more fully.
