14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft tries to promote its new Windows 8 with every single occasion and since it knows that the green sector is a niche with a terrific potential, it’s now appealing to tree-huggers as well.
This time, Microsoft is promoting an energy saving Modern app called Microsoft Windows Energy Calculator, a free piece of software developed by Green IT Software that gives you the power to compare energy consumption across versions of Windows.
“Windows 8 has numerous features that help make it more energy efficient, but we are also starting to see specific applications on the Windows Store that are helping people understand and measure their Windows PC’s energy use,” Microsoft said.
Of course, the number of apps created in this regard is very likely to increase in the near future, especially since Microsoft continues its efforts to bring more developers to Windows 8. At this month, Microsoft is getting closer to the 50,000 Windows Store app milestone, even though it expected many more Modern tools by this time.
