So that if your battery goes dead, the machine can shut itself down cleanly... Thus protecting your data :)

It's better > than the official APC software in my opinion. I obviously know nothing about UPS's, so my question is why is software required at all? I thought how a UPS worked was that it monitored the power supply itself and if it detected a drop it would kick in power from its batteries, and that this would all be semaless to the PC that was plugged into it. The PC would never know there'd been a power cut unless the UPS batteries ran out. So why does the PC need any software?
