    Microsoft denies Windows 7 battery problem

    In a blog posting on Monday, Windows division President Steven Sinofsky said that the company's follow-up research shows that those seeing a notification that their batteries need replacing are getting the message because, in fact, the batteries are not performing up to a certain threshold.

    The company and PC makers have received a total of 20 support inquiries related to this error message,
    That's a tiny percentage of all of the older laptops running Windows 7. Instead of complaining, why don't they just change out the battery.
    The true test of character is not how much we
    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do

    The issue is apparently some of the users don't think or didn't know their batteries needed replacing.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.
