    Works:

    Google Chrome (stable)
    7-Zip (9.22 beta)
    Steam
    Xfire
    uTorrent
    Daemon Tools (and SPTD 1.79 x64)
    VLC Media Player (the latest nightly however was completely broken, stable is fine though)
    Java 7.2 (x64 JRE)
    Rosetta Stone 3.47 (only tried installing languages)
    Games for Windows Live Marketplace (just the marketplace)
    Diablo III Beta (as far as login screen, others say it works fine though)
    StarCraft II
    Minecraft
    Vindictus (NA, didn't test EU)
    osu!
    AMD Catalyst 11.9 (beta drivers)
    BYOND
    IcoFX (tested 1.6 only)
    UniXonar Drivers (tested the Test2 package only)

    Doesn't Work:

    Evolve (.NET-related error)
    Games for Windows Live (doesn't appear in any game)
    Age of Empires Online (most likely because of GFWL not working)
    Logitech Setpoint (doesn't detect my mouse)
    Grand Theft Auto: IV (GFWL yet again)
    USB Mouse Polling Rate to 1000Mhz (Windows didn't seem to like the driver)

    Noticed this too, however it seems to work fine now (I did disable Metro though, maybe that fixed it)

    Google chrome 14 and 15 work. Though there's a bug and once you take tabs off. You can't put tabs back in a window like in IE9/10.

    If you turn the metro ui off by changing RPEnabled to 0 then it works but off course no immersive ui etc.

    If someone needs all games and applications in windows 7, don't even bother with any windows 8 builds.
