I didn't think to try the XP one.
I have frequent brownouts and Vista was misreading being powered by a battery with 5 minutes left and kicking me out of any game that was full screen and wanting to shut down. It now has the proper 20-25 min life it's suppose to have. Since I dual boot I didn't want to disconnect usb cable since it works fine in xp.

Specifically, XP x64...their site isn't the most straightforward to navigate or search...
