aerofoil extends vista and windows 7 notebook battery life by:

* allowing you to manually disable aero glass. * optionally managing aero glass user interface. * optionally managing sound muting. * optionally managing your chosen power plans * optionally managing windows sidebar. * optionally showing a quick hibernate button * changing icon colour to show your power type

benefits over earlier versions and similar software:

* much more efficient aerofoil is 100% unmanaged c++ (no .net framework!). * much smaller memory use (about 25%30% of the size of similar software). * unlike other apps, aerofoil doesn't poll battery level continuously allowing the cpu save power by being idle more often. * upx compressed meaning aerofoil.exe is as small as it can be. * no configuration file everything is customised with the installer. * tried and tested on windows 7 (thanks to d. schiferli!) * open source and free no expiry date, adware, spyware or malware, download and compile it for yourself if you prefer!
