Greenpeace sieht durch Vista eine Flut von Computerschrott kommen

Beau Baconguis ist der Ansicht, dass Windows Vista die Veralterung der Hardware beschleunigt. Auf der Greenpeace Seite wird er wie folgt zitiert:

"With Vista, Microsoft could effectively hasten the obsolesence of half the world’s PCs, especially in the absence of fully-functioning global take back systems for PCs". Weiter heißt es: "Companies will feel the need to upgrade more computers sooner—and when they do, the world is unfortunately not prepared for the massive E-waste the upgrades will generate."

Greenpeace fordert, dass die Lebensdauer von Computern verlängert werden sollte.

"We maintain that the useful lives of existing electronic and computer equipment should be prolonged as much as possible. In the end, this is about social responsibility. The idea that software innovation would result in more mountains of computer scrap ending up in the dumps of Asia and Africa, contaminating the environment, and affecting the health of communities, is both offensive and intolerable".
