Tamir Khason on Vista Battery Saver
Our CodePlex Project of the Month for January 2009 is Vista Battery Saver.
"This tiny program will save up to 70% of your battery by disabling those nice, but greedy Vista features."
When you switch from running on AC power to running on battery, Vista Battery Saver will disable the Windows Sidebar and Aero features and switch to a more conservative power plan (e.g., from High Performance to Power Saver). When you reconnect to AC power, Vista Battery Saver switches everything back to the full Vista experience.
The Vista Battery Saver project was started by Tamir Khason. Listen to our interview with Tamir using the embedded audio player or download the MP3.
