Does Windows have that?

Sometimes I wonder, on seeing some wonderful new feature in Linux, whether Windows possesses the same feature. The feature this time, was dynamic ticks, that headline grabbing, gut-wrenching (atleast for 2.6.21) patch that allows Linux to save a lot more power than your Windows laptops. Or does it? I mean, if Windows has that feature, then Linux has just "caught up", and I can't claim advantage.

Thanks to Kernel Comparison: Linux vs Windows -- whose motto is "Everything you wanted to know about your kernel, (but were afraid to ask)" -- I now know that Windows does not support dynamic ticks.

Useful reference that.
