What I don't understand is how they reach 1 year battery time with the
2.4 GHz V2100 mouse and only 3-4 days with the MX900. Are the Bluetooth
chips so power hungry ?

as swiss, I prefer to buy from Logitech. And I'm a bit inclined to think
that Microsoft has already enough money. Even if they might made great
hardware. I won't express myself on their software :-) The only good
part is Visio, and they didn't made it themselve. A bit off-topic.
