Hey Dan,
I can't answer your questions about Win 7 and I try to stay away from Vista,
but I do know some about how those things work in WinXP.
The window sizes (most notably in IE) do keep their size if you open one
window (and only one), resize it, then close it. When you re-open IE it
will be the correct size.
I have a lot of problems with hidden tool tips, balloon tips, and window
sizes (going below the task bar). I was fairly sure my problem is because I
increase the task bar to 3 rows. I have not noticed these problems when I
work on a desktop with the standard one row taskbar. Do you also increase
the size of your taskbar?

I should have done a better job explaining what I was asking about, but
these "bugs" are so common and well known I though everyone knowledgeable
enough or brave or reckless enough to run a Win 7 before the official
release would know what I was talking about. Let me try again.....
In every version of Windows since (I think) 95, tool tips were almost always
half hidden behind the taskbar when you hover over an icon or minimized
window button. M$ knows the problem but has never fixed it as of Vista
SP1. Did they fix it in Win 7?
Again in all versions of Windows, when you open a window and it is full
screen and you then restore down to a smaller window and then close it
before you restore up, the next time you open that window it opens in the
smaller size. If you then restore up to full screen and then close the
window the next time you open the window it will not remember you maximized
the window and it will open in the smaller size. The only way to get
windows to remember a downsized window has been maximized is to close it
using File>Exit. And even then sometimes it still forgets.
