Considerations about bug and "missing" features on Windows 7 RC
1. If you want to defrag your disk, is also visible the system partition of 200 Mb... Are still visible?

2. Since Vista, in the system properties, some values are wrong...

http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=property3et5.jpg (NOT FIXED)
3. Decompression of file .RAR/.ZIP slow the computer in a strange way... It's a OS problem or program bug (7zip, winrar and winzip, it's the same)? (NOT FIXED)
4. Sometimes "Games" folder is visualized in wrong without "group by", sometimes with it... (also the personalization of the link in this folder that is leaved compared Vista (NOT HAPPENS FOR NOW)
The problems of this folder are these now:
a. If you open it is like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamesbug1.jpg
If you reduce like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamesbug2.jpg
If you close when it's reduced it reopen like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamesbug3.jpg
But, if you enlarge, if shows like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamesbug4.jpg
(NOT FIXED)
b. Why if I cut and paste an icon of a game from desktop to Games folder, the icon remains on the desktop? (NOT FIXED)
This produced a strange effect in Windows 7 Beta ( http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=transparenticon.jpg ) and it's a little bit fastidious... (NOT HAPPENS FOR NOW)
5. Sometimes personal image on start menu is visualized in wrong way (it's multiplied, or all transparent)... (FIXED)
6. When SyncToy is minimized, it... (you know what I want to say :p...)...

7. Messenger bug is resolved on build 7024, I hope it remained fixed...
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=msntz4.png (FIXED)
8. Firefox bug: I don't know if it's a bug of OS or of problem (same decompression), but it's same fastidious... When you reduce it, messenger open itself... (NOT FIXED)
9. Sometimes the order of the desktop is lost (the place of the icons...)... (NOT HAPPENS FOR NOW)
And why you don't make a function same to powertoys for windows xp?
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firsticon.jpg
Where you can select the first icon on your desktop (Computer or documents..) (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
10. Audio problem in video of some games (Mirror's Edge, Unreal Tournament 3) (FIXED)
11. Problem with USB remove of external HD remains... It probably is caused to the indexing option, same of Vista, but the frustation for not remove remains... (SEEMS TO BE FIXED :), MAYBE...)
12. Suggestion: why don't you create an icon for the "Open" option of .exe file in Windows Explorer... The icon of "non association" sounds bad...
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=openicon.jpg
(NOT IMPLEMENTED)
13. Some crash with Internet Explorer 8 (NEVER IN BETA)... (SEEMS TO BE FIXED :))
14. Messenger chat window not mantein the size and the position... I don't know if it is an OS problem or a program bug... (NOT TESTED YET)
15. My PC still bipping... What hardware can do it? (SEEMS TO BE FIXED :))
16. SQL Server Express 2005 problem to create DB using the GUI: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/57d84f26-a77a-47e5-9d33-2a6afa8e5a40 (NOT TESTED YET)
17. Driver of my ATI Mobility Radeon X1400: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/b826e94b-3b99-4007-aab3-af3c89bebb9d
It appears again on Windows Update, thanks Microsoft! (FIXED)
18. When I try to install some program (for example, the setup of latest version of Firefox, 3.0.10), and I want to leave Always asks before opening this file, OS hangs for long time It happens also in Beta (NOT FIXED)
19. It's impossible to modify a file (for example a .txt file) in an external hd because when you try to save it show "Access is denied"... It's frustrating, you need also administrator right on the program for modify your personal file (also in SyncToy, when it try to replace an existing file, it can't, but if you launch synctoy with administrator rights, it can)... (NOT FIXED)
I used the same image of Windows 7 Beta because the problems is exactly the same, if you want I posted new images of RC, but I think it's useless...
P.S.: why don't implement the strike text on the forum?
Update : the 8 seems to be fixed, but if I open messenger, then Firefox and reduce it, again the problem :(...
the 11 seems to be fixed too, but two external hd, after a while, aren't able to eject :(...
Update #2: I don't know if this problem is caused by OS or by Firefox... When you try to open firefox and launch it twice, the result is:
http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=doublefirefox.jpg
Update #3: WMP12 bug discovered... See the images:
It's just opened, it's not full screen, but the button is for full mode: http://img245.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wmpenlargebug.jpg
Twice click: now the button is for reduced mode: http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wmpenlargebug2.jpg
Again: now is right... http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wmpenlargebug3.jpg
Again and again: it altern the second and the third image...
Update #4: apparently, bug #11 is caused by problem with the hd (twice broken...), after the scandisk, nothing problem for eject, but problem for scandisk: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproperf/thread/2c4c95d6-fe48-48d3-a378-2d122bbecb26
Update #5: when you see a video on internet (for example, on youtube), and you want to see the preview using taskbar, if the tab with video is selected, the preview on the taskbar is right, and the preview up "running" (http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ievideopreview1.jpg), when you select another tab and try the same, the preview is wrong, and the video seems like stopped (http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ievideopreview2.jpg)...
