Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
As far as I can see, the issue is not so much that Vista is going to be used, but that they are putting it on hardware that it really should not be installed on. And where we're at, I don't see us switching to new machines any time soon. When you're out in the boonies, the priority levels seem to drop...
Doing paperwork before on these machines has been bad enough...I can't imagine what it'll be like at work with Vista on them.
