Windows 7 Bugs

So now I’m using Windows 7 Beta as my daily operating system. Since loading it up on Friday, I’ve encountered the following bugs:

Transparancy (mainly noticed on the taskbar) goes away and has to be reset each reboot. This is an odd bug, especially since it didn’t do it in the last beta. I’m thinking it’s something I’m running in the background.
The program Fineprint just plain won’t work. It won’t even install. It should be noted that out of the hundred or so programs I’ve installed, this is the ONLY one that won’t work.
One evening, for whatever reason, Firefox suddenly had a VERY hard time redrawing, even after closing it and restarting it. This fixed itself when I closed the Windows Gadgets. My guess is that one of them has a memory leak or something. I can’t seem to reproduce this problem though.

The funny thing? All these are very minor issues. This sucker is slick and stable.
