Windows 7 - Strange window/icon behavior?

Again, I should point out, this happens on both ATI and nVidia hardware alike.

Ok, update. Regarding the minimize/maximize issue. I know I wasn't the only guy crazy enough to notice this.

Again, on Vista, the animation is completely smooth. On Windows 7, there is DEFINITELY a small micro stutter. I was able to find a video via a thread on Microsoft's forums of other people complaining about this very issue.

Once you see the video in slo-mo, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. So it ain't just me; there is surely a stutter/pause there.

Have a look see for yourself. Ignore the funny music.

Here's another video.

Basically, it looks like the window is "snapping". But snapping to what or for what, I don't know.

Now, about the jaggy icons, a Microsoft mod said that it's "by design".
