Bangalore: Software giant Microsoft and electronics major Samsung have teamed up to promote the benefits of green IT, which can be realized when Samsung's memory chips are combined with Microsoft's new operating system.
A meeting between Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and Samsung Chief Executive Yoon-Woo Lee resulted in a decision to work together to encourage users to buy more environmentally friendly Personal Computers (PCs). The pair flaunted the energy savings that can be made when using Windows 7 and Samsung's 40 nanometer (nm)-class DDR3 DRAM memory chips, reports BusinessGreen.
"There is no doubt that the combination of Windows 7 and 40 nm DDR3 in new PCs will make users very happy," said Dong-Soo Jun, Executive Senior Vice President of Memory Marketing at Samsung. Samsung said that it will install Windows 7 on all of its corporate PCs worldwide, while Microsoft will promote the DDR3 memory chips to PC manufacturers.
Samsung also hinted at further green IT efforts with Microsoft, saying that it will measure the effect of this initiative and other collaborative efforts to examine the potential for other areas of global co-operation with Microsoft in IT development.
