today it is just a free monitoring tool...with the next upgrade, Bill Gates will control your thermostat
Heck, I didn’t download it and look at all the energy and bandwidth I saved already. :-]

“Microsoft launches home energy monitoring tool”
That weighs 200 pounds, takes 10,000 watts to run, and when it crashes your house goes dark.

You can buy energy monitors already but those aren’t connected to the internet.

How long before the government starts using this to monitor how much energy people are using?
Using too much heat? Now you're capped!
Using too much air? Now you're capped!
Watching too much TV? Now you're capped!
Using too much gas? Now you're capped!

Absolutely no info on their page as to how it works....only this:
We’ll send you notification to the email address you have provided above when Microsoft Hohm becomes available. We’ll use your email address only for this purpose.

... Microsoft Hohm uses advanced analytics licensed from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the US Department of Energy.Well, gee, that convinces me. This is not based on "ordinary" analytics, but "advanced" analytics.
"Hohm"... why does that remind me of a group of hippies sitting around a fire?
