I turn mine off. When windows runs for a long time it tends to confuse itself, restarting it is a great way of doing that. Plus you save electricity (250 watts x 12 hours x 365 days) = 1.095 kWh per person per year (300,000,000 people in USA assume 1/3 have computers) that's 109,500,000kWh per year at $.11 per kWh that's $12,045,000 per year saved - and I do not know how to calculate the amount of CO2 saved
