I think that misrepresentation of the battery life is only half the issue here. the rest of the issue is the inability to replace the battery (at least cost-effectively). cellphone replacement batteries are available almost everywhere
I'll switch on SP2 the same day Micro$oft give me back the percentage of money I bought on it in line with the percentage of functionality that is removed from the O/S.
One noticable removal (which is very much a nice-to-have for me) was the FTP Folders that is switched back to the old web directory contents listing after installing SP2.
If there are other FORCED functionality removals that make the O/S useless in certain roles, I very much doubt microsoft are going to refund the product.

And I think it'd be even cooler if the eye could be switched from real, to cell shaded polygon mode!
Or the 70 Year old bitch who pulled out onto a highway with 300 cars (myself included) moving toward her at 100km/h who all had to stop cos she wouldn't accellerate up to the speed of the moving traffic.
or when I was in the car with my grandmother who never checks her blind spot?
Or lets move this into alt.flame because you seem to be commenting on how I drive whereas I was making a generalisation and never targeted my comments specifically to you (until now) "asshole!"
"they will check the black box to try to shift the liability from their client onto you"
or, they will finally prove that its people over the ages of 65 that cause the accidents not those under 21! I swear, the elderly should retire their licenses when they retire from work, they drive dangerously slow in areas that are impossibly to overtake and frustrate all following drivers, and the frustration they create cause accidents!
