Microsoft estimates that allowing a PC to go to sleep during off hours, as compared with
leaving it on all the time, saves anywhere from $55 a year to $70 annually, depending on the
type of monitor.
"This is energy (consumed) when you are not even using the PC," said Dean DeWhitt, a director
in the Windows kernel team at Microsoft. "It truly is a waste."
