While editing Ian Griffiths new WinFX article for ONDotnet.com, he showed me how wrong I am. I've been complaining about the hit on battery life that Longhorn will have since it will use the GPU (Video Card). Of course, Ian correctly mentioned that the high power/heat 3D computation is not needed for Longhorn, but the 2D rendering is. This eleviates all of my concerns about power and Longhorn. I am happy to be wrong...
