Edison is an excellent power management tool made for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista systems. Edison optimizes Windows Power Management settings for maximum power savings and provides a friendly user interface to configure the power settings.
Download Edison from Verdiem’s Website. (See also Verdiem :: Edison FAQ.)
Alter the Work Time Power Settings by moving the slider. To input custom values (hours: minutes) click the Custom button. And, click the Schedule tab and set your Work Time.
Edison creates a custom power plan, which can be viewed using Power Options (Windows Vista).
Edison changes the power plan options automatically, based on Work Time and Non-Work Time settings.

@Don: Edison gives you the option to set the work time (and non-work time), depending upon which the “turn off” time in Power Options are set/reset. Windows Power Management doesn’t do that automatically.
What your article doesn’t say anything about is what does Edison do that Windows (I have XP-SP3) doesn’t? I.e., I already have my Windows power options set to hibernate the monitor in 15 min., shut off the HD at 30 min., go to Standby at 1 hr. and Hibernate at 3 hr. And it works. So why does anyone need Edison???
