Windows Timer Resolution problem

"The default timer resolution on Windows 7 is 15.6 milliseconds (ms). Some applications reduce this to 1 ms, which reduces the battery run time on mobile systems by as much as 25 percent."

This is a crazy setup. I understand Windows is not a realtime system but still limiting the timer resolution to 15.6ms is a big limitation for application developers.
