Strange window/icon behavior?
I was doing a fresh install of Win7 x64 Ultimate, and I was wondering if anyone noticed this issue that I've noticed regarding Win7. The windows, while maximizing and minimizing, stutter/pause for a millisecond before actually maximizing/minimizing. Vista x64 does not do this; the maximize/minimize animation is smooth. This happens on both my work rig and my home rig, which have both OSes installed as a dual boot.
Another thing I noticed are the way the folders icons look in Win7 as compared to Vista. In Vista, all the folder icon edges are smooth, but in Win7, I can actually see jaggies around the edges of the folders. I have sitting in front of me two computers, one running Vista x64 and the other Win7, and I tell you, I can clearly see jaggies around the bottom edges of a folder icon on Win7. Here is a screenshot. Check out the circled areas.
And just for the record, I have all the latest driver updates/what not. Plus, the hardware is different between 3 different rigs, and they all exhibit these issues. And just for the record, I already went into System Properties>Advanced>Performance Settings and chose the bullet to "Adjust for best appearance". This makes no discernible difference.
Thanks!
