Users dispute Microsoft's explanation of Windows 7 battery problems

"Windows 7 does not ruin notebook batteries or issue premature warnings that the power is exhausted, Microsoft 's head of Windows said Monday in response to customer complaints.

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.'"
