Vista is a Notebook Killer

While many fear that Microsoft’s super soar-away operating system Vista will force them to buy new hardware, one analyst has warned that laptop batteries cannot handle it.

Speaking to Wired, Nathan Brookwood of Insight 64 pointed out that the Vista’s operating system’s graphics power demands will suck the life out of most batteries far too fast. Punters who try to use Vista on their laptops will find themselves having to disable the graphics functions because their battery is going to dry far too quickly to be useful, he said.
