Microsoft: No battery problem in Windows 7
NEWS
Following complaints from some users about a variety of battery issues related to Windows 7, Microsoft has said its testing shows nothing is amiss.
The software maker initially thought there might be a problem with the firmware in some PC models causing an error message to appear where one was not warranted. However, Microsoft now says it believes the operating system is behaving properly.
In a blog posting on Monday, Windows division president Steven Sinofsky said the company's follow-up research shows that those users who are seeing a notification that their batteries need replacing are getting the message because the batteries are not performing up to a certain threshold.
