did you find out the cause of the heat below to the logo? I was wondering if
winxp is undervolting the cpus. Or something else. I asked the dev of
linux-phc and he is more of the opinion on winxp not undervolting but
lowering the FSB freq or something else. I keep wondering about this and a
bit disappointed with  battery life under linux for my x60s. 
i keep looking for solutions, and a bit ashamed of using winxp because of
the amazing 8h to 9h i get (just word processor), myself beeing a linux fan.
