I just loaded Windows 7 on my desktop, and I loaded up the old classics: Warcraft II BNE and Starcraft. I have a 22" widescreen LCD set to the native resolution at 1680x1050, but the games load up in the center of the screen in the regular aspect ratio without looking too grainy. Obviously, it's scaling the pixels so you can see each pixel without much effort, but both games run smooth and look great. My wife just got a new laptop as well (with Windows 7) and the games run the same on the laptop's widescreen, so I'm fairly confident that Windows 7 actually got something right!
The one thing that hasn't worked for me (but is not a bother) is the "BLIZZARD" logo at the beginning of the game has some funny colors mixed in, but who cares about that anyway?

When can I get the rechargeable kind?
