An issue is that smart grid has significant amount of hype around it, including the promise that it will make energy more affordable, effective and green. With that, promises around security and privacy are often hard to obtain." Read on for the rest of Ben's review.

It's sucks, it's terrible, I've never used it...

That would be me. While our policy on Vista was still wait-and-see, a PHB-wannabe in a neglected office bought himself a laptop with Vista, then asked me to install our C/S software. The firefox client applet crashed the Vista control panel & explorer! This was 3rd party software that works faultlessly on XP; failure to run on the new OS would have been forgiveable, but not a system crash.
