PowerCfg logs a warning if the last full charge capacity is less than 50 percent of the battery’s design capacity. PowerCfg logs an error if the last full charge capacity is less than 40 percent of the battery’s design capacity.

So the fact that users are seeing “Replace Your Battery” reports for the first time now, may only be because the reliability of such a warning has only recently become viable.

“It should stand to reason that some customers would be surprised to see this warning after upgrading a PC that was previously operating fine,” writes Sinofsky.

“Essentially the battery was degrading but it was not evident to the customer until Windows 7 made this information available. We recognize that this has the appearance of Windows 7 ‘causing’ the change in performance, but in reality all Windows 7 did was report what was already the case.

my gpu is showing a higher temprature than it is the sensor is currently showing that my Nvidia Geforce 7000m on my acer aspire 5520 is running at 115c (which is the throttle temprature) but it was showing higher (i actually put it in the freezer i know how bad an idea that was) but even after being in a -1f freezer for 3 hours it showed being 95c even tho the cpu and hdd sensors showed 40c... this is under ubuntu with the sensor applet... vista is unbootable becouse the gpu sensor shows it too hot and shuts the pc off... is there a way to calabrate/disable/repair the sensor? cause its out of warenty crawled through the bios... it was designed for a less techincal use as the options for doing anything relateing to my problem doesnt exisit but i know it must have aces to it becouse it shuts off when the sensor reaches a sertan point
