Windows 7 battery fix available for LG notebooks and more Windows news bits
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows 7 battery-fix available for LG
| machines: Remember the dust-up earlier this
| year regarding Windows 7 and battery-life
| issues? Although Microsoft officials said at
| that time that there werenât any battery-
| related problems of note, it looks like there
| were battery problems with certain LG
| machines, including the R500 family of
| notebooks. Microsoft published a Knowledge
| Base article that points to BIOS refreshes now
| available from LG that will fix false âbattery
| is lowâ reports. (Thanks to Ars Technica for
| the pointer to the KB article.)

Users Dispute Microsoft's Explanation of Windows 7 Battery Problems
,----[ Quote ]
| Within minutes, Windows 7 users who have
| experienced those problems disagreed, calling
| the explanation "hand washing" and noting
| that if the company's conclusion was correct,
| then many affected users must be "under some
| sort of bizarre bad battery curse."
|
| [...]
|
| "I completely reject Steven Sinofsky's
| explanation. It's simple hand-washing," said
| a user identified as "Btstech" on the support
| thread. "There are hundreds of postings here
| explaining the problem. Immediately after
| installing Windows 7, people's batteries are
| effectively 'dying.' Numerous people have
| purchased NEW batteries and encountered the
| same behavior immediately.
|
| "The OS is causing this for some reason. Not
| saying it's damaging the batteries, but it's
| rendering them useless," Btstech continued.
| "This is a no brainer. There is a problem
| here with the new operating system and the
| way it interacts with various laptops and it
| must be fixed."
