One Laptop Per Child - 0.1 Watt Dual-Mode screen

"The dual-mode display is also stunning when you look at its power consumption while doing its tricks. A typical laptop screen consumes 8-10 Watts. The OLPC display only consumes 1 and then slips into reflective mode and drops down to .1 Watt (note that's one tenth a Watt!) without visible loss in detail."

A typical Windows Vista stationary PC is using something several hundred, and for what use? Is it worth to destroy the earths climate with useless features on a PC?
