WHAT?

A flaw in Microsoft software? Surely you jest!

[Sboston]

Funny!

But this type of flaw just causes the batery to drain quicker. As far as flaws for MS goes, this is almost not on the radar.

WHAT?!

Someone making a lame comment about a flaw in a Microsoft Product? Well I never.. who would have thought that people would be so creative, using the same comment for 10 straight years.. wow.. that's originality.

Get a clue

Go anti microsoft people.

Idiots.

Anyway, this is so covered up it would suggest this a much bigger bug that what it is made out to be. There is a registry fix but Microsoft talks of a bios patch. This suggest Intel is at fault.

You'd Think They'd Follow Apple's Lead ...

Yeah, Microsoft should follow Apple's fine example and severely limit your options for hardware and software to prevent this kind of thing! Who do they think they are opening up their OS to thousands of vendors to provide a gazillion hardware variations for the end user, anyway?

They killed my battery. Sue Em

So this is why I keep going through batteries--constant full depletion!

Time to make them PAY for all the faster than expected premature battery deaths that more and more notebooks are having lately.

First they have bugs that expose my data, now they have bugs that ruin my hardware through ZERO fault of a third party (so don't even try to bring that defense up). I smell class action.
