    Hi all.. I just picked up a new US version of the 1810TZ which came preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I removed the majority of Acer junk off of the machine, but left Acer ePower Management on.. It seems to load a few processes at startup (including some sort of tray icon that never appears) and I am not sure the application actually does anything. Is this program functional under Windows 7? I saw some mention of some Acer branding on the Win 7 power management pages -- but I see no such thing. Can/Should I just uninstall the software? Will it have a negative impact on battery life?

    Thanks,
    Rick
