Microsoft investigate Windows 7 battery problems

Users have complained of battery issues, including premature warnings that the power is exhausted, as well as more dire demands to replace the battery, for months, long before Windows 7 went final.

The entire news story is at Techworld.com.

Tripwire45,
We are investigating the battery life issue in conjunction with our hardware partners, which appears to be related to system firmware. We are working with our partners to determine the root cause and will update the Windows TechNet forum (available here: http://bit.ly/cobVvf) with information and guidance as it becomes available.

Thanks for the update and link, Jessica (I know why you shortened the link, but I used unshorten.com just to make sure it was legit...we get spam here from time to time).
