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??? What your article doesn’t say anything about is what does Edison do that Windows (I have XP-SP3) doesn’t?
