I think he is mistaken, maybe he is confusing the Power Management features
in Windows Vista. But there is no dedicated UPS software like the one I
mentioned comes on a CD with all APC UPS devices. Vista won't tell you how
many Blackouts you have had over a period, the amount of Brownouts, Noises
and Spikes you have had for day.
