It's an OSX preference pane so it won't work on any other OS. I haven't looked into it maybe because I can't see any obvious difference from a user standpoint other than temperatures decrease. I believe it throttles down the processors and possibly shuts one down when not needed. From the computers side, it spends most of it's time idly siting there waiting for the user to do something. The preference pane does have a couple of settings to choose from but it defaults to the off setting on restart. Most people have a script in their login items to turn it on.
