I have been using Windows 7 on bootcamp and I have noticed that the battery depletes very fast. Is this a common problem?
No idea. I have even encountered anecdotal evidence where a Hackintosh notebook will have better battery life under hacked OS X when compared to Windows.Does anybody know why?
P.S. I get about 1/3 the normal battery life running XP, 1/2 running Vista, and 2/3 running an unsupported OS - Windows 7 - on my MBP.

I would avoid looking at Activity Monitor for the rest of your life.Windows is a typical masturbation operating system that constantly tries to satisfy itself (herself/himself?).
Windows 7 has many background processes that do things, consume CPU cycles and therefore nibble battery capacity.
OS X like most UN*X operating systems is behaving more orderly here.
