Battery life is going to vary from laptop to laptop. For some reason my MSI Wind U100 gets the best battery life with Vista.

Rev3, especially Diggnation, have been advertising this netbook by Nokia that has has Wifi, Bluetooth, and G3 network connection, it also comes with Windows 7, and they claim it has 12 hour battery life.

So my guess is this article they are installing Windows 7 on to existing Vista/XP notebooks and don’t have the proper ACPI/power management drivers installed for Win7, so it just runs at full power and drains the batteries in under 2 hours.
