Apple is still not as green as its “unhip” competitor, Dell.

I guess I’m not really all that surprised that Apple is greener than MS. I guess I would be surprised to find MS making more positive environmental steps than Apple. Eco-awareness just seems to be something more at the heart of Apple.

Mr. Barker, I wouldn’t worry about where Nintendo is in the above chart. The chart is garbage. Greenpeace is garbage.

I also found it strange that Nintendo should be singled out at the bottom when the other two major gaming consoles are much more energy intensive, not to mention so much bigger too.

Mac greener than M/soft – would not doubt it. I would argue that anything which helped stop Microsoft having a monopoly of the IT world was green (I see green as more than just environmental). I would argue that any PC can be made greener, install Linux of FreeBSD.

With respect to Nintendo, the Wii uses a fraction of the energy when playing intensive games, that that the PlayStation uses when in standby mode – but this is not included in Greenpeaces “green” calculation.
