Vista Battery Saver first impressions

It's by no means scientific but my first impressions of Vista Battery Saver are good.   With Sidebar and Aero Glass turned off here is what the OS is reporting as my estimated battery life:

I haven't seen it that high in Vista ever.

Erm...is this using a Sony UX?

No, it's a Fujitsu P1610 Tablet PC.

When I can get it to work, I get 3 hours + out of this machine; I can normally go about two hours on battery. I'm currently running on battery but it doesn't want to kick in for some reason.

Hey, I noticed that you have an icon entitled "Devon Project..." third one down on the left. Does that have any relation to DevonThink for the Mac? I love that program but there's nothing really that I find to be the equivalent on the Windows side. Just wondering...
