For the screen, of course, you can set up a screensaver but personally on a production machine I'd just turn the monitor off. If I needed to get to the machine often then a screen saver is fine IMO though only the built in ones.

MS had to put these features in it because so many people were complaining that NT was not laptop friendly. Of course, they were complaing 2 years ago when battery life was a paltry 1.5 hours.

As you said, I would never use this feature on a desktop (even it weren;t a server). But if it is my laptop, maybe.

Later.
