Windows 7 cuts netbook running time by 2.5 hours
Standalone netbook running time with Windows 7 is one third less than with Windows XP. The guys from this blog found that the battery Toshiba mini NB205-N310 was discharged when working with Win 7 for 6 hours 53 minutes, and when working with Win XP for 9 hours 24 minutes.
The devil knows, but what if the circumstances were like that? But journalists from the Tom's Hardware website have the Acer Aspire One netbook under Win 7 also dead 2.5 hours faster than a similar laptop with Win XP. And both times the car drove in power saving mode.
Negative reviews about the duration of the netbook with the new system appeared on other sites. For Microsoft, this is all the more unpleasant because the company earlier promised that Windows 7 will extend battery life by 11% compared to Vista. By the way, netbook batteries under Vista, as we remember, were discharged faster than under XP.
The representative of Microsoft has so far refused to comment on the problem of "2.5 hours" and referred to recommendations for driver developers. The recommendations were last updated on June 23 and, according to Microsoft, the developers simply did not have time to properly adapt the “firewood” to the new version of the system.

The corporation is supported by independent analyst Jack Gold. Which recalled that
Firstly, for autonomous work it is very important how the drivers for different components of the laptop interact. And secondly, that Microsoft does not create the driver itself, they are written by the developers of "hardware". The latest version of Windows 7 on which driver drivers could train was released just a month ago.
In general, the tests of the next few months should show whether netbooks under Win 7 can work for as long as Microsoft promised.
