I have an HP Pavilion with an extended battery any went from 6+ hrs to 2 hrs when I upgraded to Windows 8. I agree fully with your comments.Well the only 'solution' is to revert back to Win 7. Win 8 is optimized only for the newer machines that comes with it pre installed i guess. Now I have 2 useless Win 8 license that I wont touch probably in 1-2 years.
The normal BS from MS. Maybe windows 8.1 or 15.5 will fix this problem

This doesn't appear to be correct. I am, for instance, on a Lenovo ThinkPad X201i preinstalled with Windows 7 and updated to Windows 8 Pro. The battery time is awful, but Lenovo claims this particular computer model is fully compatible with Windows 8, and they have released drivers and an updated BIOS (with a recent additional update) for it.Win 8 is optimized only for the newer machines that comes with it pre installed i guess. Now I have 2 useless Win 8 license that I wont touch probably in 1-2 years.
