macBook Pro woes with battery.

More macBook pro issues with battery. Note, I notice this after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5. The issue is that the laptop will just shut off without warning and corrupt files along the way. Also 118 cycles it is at 50% capacity or about an hour at full screen brightness. It should be over 90%. If you use vmware and have it open, it will corrupt your partition. I down-graded back to 10.4 and the issue went away. Problem is if you use bootcamp, 10.4's bootcamp is a beta version and you must upgrade to 10.5 to make it work again. One other thing I notice is that the wi-fi is weaker with 10.5.
