Battery-conscious software development with .NET Framework 3.0

Battery life is a hardware problem, right?  Not entirely.  Software is at least as responsible as hardware, for preserving battery life on Tablet and notebook PCs.

The .NET Framework 3.0 software platform is something of a challenge, because most samples and demo apps out there are more concerned about 3D rendering and glitzy animations, than they are about battery life.

Andre Michaud is a rising star SDET here on the Tablet PC platform team.  He helped deliver InkCanvas and stylus input in WPF, but wasn't satisfied that the NetFX v3.0 framework didn't do much to make writing battery-conscious applications easier.

So, he wrote a few words about how to do this.  And now it's the headline article in this month's MSDN Magazine!
