XP在電池效率上還是打敗了W7

消息來源
Windows 7 is here and it brought with it a huge list of improvements that should have many users wanting to upgrade if they haven't already – unless if you have a netbook.

Recent tests from Laptop Mag, Liliputing and jkOnTheRun all show that netbook users will get longer battery life while running Windows XP than Windows 7. This is slightly surprising given that Microsoft have boasted about all the work that's gone into power efficiency and how it's been improved over Vista. While Windows 7 may be better than Vista, it's not besting XP just yet.

Laptop's tests found that netbooks running Windows XP ran for 47 minutes longer than those with Windows 7. Numbers across tests show varying differences in battery life, but the consistent result is that XP is a better choice for those who need all the battery life one can get.

Of course, Windows 7 is a more demanding operating system with its more advanced (and graphically pretty) UI as well as all the added security layers in the background, which may explain the drop in battery life. Either way, it seems that Windows XP isn't quite all washed up just yet.




XP還是比VISTA跟W7省電,小弟在之前的RTM版測試中就是這樣,而實際正式版本XP還是勝過了W7

The laptop/netbook market is crying out for a revolution in battery technology.  How about a nuclear battery: [url]https://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10372233-1.html[/url]  Think about it.  A laptop powered by a nuclear battery with a million times more charge than a standard battery could even run Vista Ultimate for more than an hour.
