i wonder if more efficient use to the hardware is to blame. squeezing more power out of the silicon means more power is squeezed out of the battery

This is an issue that Microsoft is trying to ignore. W7 has MAJOR issues with the ACPI which make them potentially liable for the damage to millions of laptop batteries. On Microsofts own Technet forums this has been raging for 6 months with MS refusing to comment.

Yeah, while you're getting all your graphics dark, make sure and empty the hard drive too. All the extra data on the drive makes it heavier and thus increasing power necessary to spin.

Laptos battery does not depends on the operating system.It's depends on the graphics that you are using.You have to use dark color graphics for more battery life because it use less power.

I recently bought an Asus 1005HA Premium eee pc with XP preloaded on it. I got a sweet deal on windows 7 Professional so i decided to do an upgrade. With XP i got close to 9 hours of battery life (never 10 or 10.5 hours like advertised, but i was still happy) with bluetooth disabled, wifi on, and screen at about 30-40% brightness. I am thrilled with windows 7. It's been great so far. Though, I noticed a difference in battery life immediately. It now says that a 100% charge gives roughly 7.5-8 hours. And that estimate is optimistic. I really get more like 5.5-6.5 hours. It's kind of annoying, but I've been messing around with the power and display settings so I think I've collectively increased the total time to about 7 hours now. However, even though it kinda sucks, I don't mind sacrificing an hour or so for a much needed OS upgrade. Hopefully Asus or Microsoft fix any battery consumption problems with some updates. But, I'm probably being optimistic
