Poor Windows Vista. Delays, not-so-Vista-capable-systems (face it, people like their eye-candy) and now word that the OS, despite its advanced power saving features, may cause of mountains of e-waste the likes of which the world has never seen.

EcoIron points us to some interesting recent happenings in the UK (old in blog time but new to me). The Green Party contends that Vista will cause corporate upgraders to scrap millions of otherwise useful XP machines to the detriment of the environment.

Is Vista the ultimate landfiller? Not if you keep plugging away with XP like I am. But I make no guarantees in a year or so when DX10 graphics are burning my retinas and SideShow remotes pop up at Best Buy (or Amazon for you non-B&M types).
