Microsoft has released a detailed report about some problems in Windows 7 including memory leaks and being frozen.
A memory leak happens when Power Manager opens an ALPC which stands for Advanced Local Procedure Call port and closes another port. The operating system should have closed the ALPC. The machine would eventually crash if this happen.
Another problem occurs if a notebook with a Vista, Server 2008, or 7 is put to sleep.
The third issue affects Intel 5 and 3400 Series with either Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate version of Windows 7.

Good info…thx :)
While Windows 7 is a much better offering than Vista, it seems we’ll still have to suffer some teething troubles. I’ll wait for the first service pack before bothering with Win7 too much.
Hopefully we get a hotfix soon.
While Win 7 has been generally well-behaved for my systems (compared to Vista and XP), I have some older machines that run it fine but have power management quirks similar to what’s being described here.
The system will not go to S3 in Win 7, whereas it would in XP. Or, it starts to sleep and the display shuts down and the system stays awake but the only way to wake up the screen is to give the power button the ol’ “one finger” salute.
None of these problems surfaced with XP and/or Vista on the same machines, so I suspect driver issues (or the need for BIOS updates.)
That said, there’s no going back to XP for me. I love 92% of Win 7. The other 8% I can live with.
