Thanks for the feedback.

I reenabled tool tips in both Vista and 7. I then went nuts with tool
tips hoovering and waiting for the dang thing to popup. No half-hidden
tool-tips occurred. All fully visible. And the version of 7 I am using
is the official release version. It's not a beta, it's not a RTM. It's
not even an OEM.

The maximized window version thing I haven't had a problem with, but
when I boot 7 again I will double check. Frankly with 7's clear window
feature, I leave most things maximized.
