My mbp seems to have much better battery life in os x / windows in vmware v. bootcamp xp sp3. the power savings in the windows os seem pretty tame compared to what os x has or what my other windows based laptops have.

Is the os x power savings in place in boot camp, or am I at the mercy of the basis power savings available in the bootcamp drivers? Or is there something I'm missing or that is available to use in bootcamp beyond the included drivers?

thanks,

Mark
