Is it Safe to Leave my Computer on at Night?

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Is it safe to leave my computer on at night? Back in the old days, it used to be a bad to keep your computer on at night because there was no good desktop power management solution. Now, in modern times, you can keep your computer on at night with less risk of hardware failure, and a lower electricity bill thanks to much improved power management solutions.

Microsoft has the onNow Power Managed PC:

OnNow design ensures that PCs are instantly accessible to users when needed, while remaining silent and consuming the least possible power when not actively working. In earlier laptop designs, designers tried to provide power management through BIOS control of devices. This resulted in problems such as delays while hard disks spin up, screens going blank during presentations, and low battery life due to inappropriate device usage. And previously, the only power management for desktop PCs was the power switch.

Advances in Microsoft Windows operating systems are built on technologies defined in the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification and other industry standards. With PCs designed to work with Windows power management, including good BIOS and device implementations, users can realize great power savings and take advantage of new PC usage scenarios that werent previously possible.

Optimize 3.0 is a powerful tool that will allow you to easily manage multiple computers. You can schedule Optimize to run remotely from any computer - anywhere in the World! Save yourself, the IT person, time and money by letting Optimize do the work for you.

What about power surges especially possible thunderstorms. We lost a mother board to one despite a quality surge guard.

I have tried Copernic Desktop Search in the past, but it turned into a resource hog and I had to get rid of it to stop it from bringing my computer to a halt. However, I will give the new version a try. I hope it’s not as greedy!

I still don’t understand why people keep their computers on all night…. how hard is it just to shut the darn thing off?
