FEBRUARY 17, 2006 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - An unfixed bug in the Universal Serial Bus driver of Windows XP Service Pack 2 causes a notebook's battery to drain faster than usual when there is a device connected to its USB port, Microsoft Corp. confirmed today.
 
Waiting to see if M$ issues the patch. I have a toshiba laptop where the battery life is very short - perhaps 1.5 hours.
