Vista - How to Improve Your Laptop's Battery Life Using Vista
How to Improve Your Laptop's Battery Life Using Vista

Tamir Khason released an application that helps you manage the Aero effects and the sidebar are activated on your Vista machine. Microsoft has admitted to the fact that "...in our testing we've seen that turning on Aero consumes only about 1-4% more of battery life."

It's a pretty simple concept.... the software is designed to disable the Aero interface and sidebar whenever your laptop is running on battery. Or... better yet, you can set it to disabled when the battery reaches as certain threshold of battery life left.

The author of the program, Tamir Khason, claims improved battery life as a result of running the program. Even so, I'd like to hear back from anyone who's using it! Let us know if y'all are experiencing extended battery life with this software.
