This entry is not about the an aeroplane wing or any turbine. I am talking here about a great utility program that allows you to consume less power when running your notebook computer on its battery.
When I upgraded my OS to Windows 7, I took a particular liking about the Aero Glass and Aero Peek features. These are wonderful additions to the interface. Although they do not exactly significantly add anything to the computer's functionality, they are actually good to look at. Having said that, I must admit that I enabled them as soon as I got my Windows 7 upgrade.
However, having those features turned on can consume more power especially if you are running your computer only on its battery. You may need to disable all the "Aero" features in order to conserve power.
But you do not have to do that manually. Just download the latest version of Aerofoil.
Aerofoil is a program that does exactly that. It disables the Aero features of Windows 7 (and even Vista) and reverts it to its Windows 7 Classic theme. This, as a result, improves the battery level of your notebook computer.
Upon installation, you can also configure the program to suit your own liking. Well, in my case, I stuck with the default configurations. I might tinker with them a little bit one day, but as of now, I am happy with it.
Oh, before I forget... you can download it for free.
