Windows 7 x86-64:
Application: uTorrent
Symptom: After a small period of normal activity, the application hard locks the system. A restart is required.

Application: Alcohol 120%
Symptom: The virtual ROM device driver is incompatible with Windows 7. Alcohol 120% must restart the symptom after installing this virtual ROM device driver, but the application requests endless restarts thereafter as the driver has never been loaded.

Application: Magic Disk
Symptom: The application spawns a process, but will not display the UI. Continuous attempts to launch the application will spawn yet more processes that do not materialize.

Driver: Intel AHCI driver 8.7.0.1007
Symptom: This device driver cannot be loaded during install or after installation.

Driver: Intel Xx8/Px5/Qx5/Gx5 chipset
Symptom: This chipset driver cannot be installed on this version of Windows 7.

    As of March 17 there is a beta version of Alcohol 120% specifically for Win7. It may be downloaded from the Alcohol forums here. Based on the forum post, the only downside seems to be the virtual drive is not available yet.
