OK. I'll check with Win XP and Linux with latest ACPI CA to see if I 
notice a speed difference between Windows and Linux. The XP battery 
indicator detects AC/battery power changes in a few seconds, so I expect 
the batery status polling in Windows to occur at the same speed.

(or does the AC/battery power work with an event? The my assumption 
won't hold then)

Bas.
