DX9 installed fine for me.

But there are some gripes though;

Quicklaunch; no option to enable. Requires workaround: create new toolbar and manually add location where the folder is.

Start menu; there is an option that stops menu's from opening on mouse hover. But if you tell it not to behave like that, menu's still open. Broken/bug.

Hardware support; impossible to get screen res or refresh right: 1280x960 wasn't available on one PC, it is on this one. But on this one I can't set refresh rate above 60. Force through Rivatuner doesn't work, custom res doesn't work, custom driver doesn't work, nothing. Kinda weird Win7 doesn't properly support CRT monitor; those things have been around longer then PCs.

Can't get rid of Start Menu search box (that I know of).

My mouse (ROCCAT Kone): driver needs to be executed in Vista compat. mode or config utility let's you change options but click "ok" nothing happens.

Scroll rate is flaky: set it to 5 lines, close config util, open it again and it's 500 lines. Try to set it to 1 page at a time, then resets to 500 lines again. Seems the software can't retrieve proper settings from Win7.

Sound: default device and default comm device keep switching; output is send to my mic and input is going to my speakers. :rotfl:

And that's just the more substantial issues I send MS and others feedback on.



Other then that, it's great.
