I receive Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

It is good that this issue is getting some attention - I thought I was seeing things at first....

Let me emphasize the following:

This is a subtle issue.  I consider myself an advanced power-user, and I know when an interface feels different from that of one I am used to.   Please do not confuse this issue with a simple "hardware not capable" problem.

I have been using Vista x64 for about a year now, and I upgraded to Windows 7 x64 last night.

I had tried out my Windows 7 when using Vista, in a Virtual Machine, just to see if I would like Windows 7, and I thought the "micro-lag" issue was just because I was running in a Virtual Machine.

When I formatted my system drive and installed Windows 7 last night, and started to use it, I noticed the "micro-lag" in the window animations immediately.Vista had no such lag.

My system specs:

ASUS P5Q Pro

Intel Q6600 @ 3.6ghz

8GB RAM

ATI 4850

Latest drivers, etc.

**Again, Vista x64 was smooth and perfect.  Windows 7 has "micro-lag" in the window animations.This may not be an actual "lag."  It may be simply a graphical draw sequence issue.**Other than that, I really enjoy using 7.  A lot of the tiny problems with Vista (which I enjoyed using too) have been fixed.  To me, this lag issue seems like an easy fix.

After examining the issue further, it only occurs when opening a window or closing a window (opening a folder on your desktop, for example).  It does not occur when minimizing or maximizing.

It is not lag.

It looks like they wanted the window animation to "pop."  It basically opens, and right before it is completely open, the animation sequence changes its time-step.

Not a bug, not a glitch, not lag.  They clearly meant to do it.

Hope Im doing this right...here are my specs:

AMD Phenom 9850 BE

MSI DKA790GX Platinum (Latest BIOS)

ATI Radeon 4890 (Make - Diamond) OC version with latest Windows 7 Drivers from ATI's website

SB XF-I Titanium PCI-E

Windows 7 was installed on a clean formatted hard drive fresh.

Everything has the latest drivers and whichever ones have x64 drivers they are installed, some are 32bit but thats all the manufature released

To me it's almost like theres an animation missing because you'll see the window before you close it...its full size then it like skips one size and goes to the next....if you watch some of these peoples videos on youtube you will see it...  I'm not sure how Microsoft created the transition but thats what it looks like to me...I ran Vista x64 and the transitions were clean and smooth when closing...but I'm also having this issue with Window 7 Ultimate x64.

Hopefully Microsoft can find a fix and send out a Windows Update soon on this issue..

Copy and Paste the code from Vista so it works!

Eheh

Just a hint....never believe what the "Geek Squad" says.  They tend to do workarounds and charge you saying they fixed it.  I've asked they's so called geeks questions about Hardware and software and 8/10 of them don't know what they are talking about...or get someone in the store, one of the select few that might know the solution.

OK, well I would change a few IRQ's if Windows would let me, the option is greyed out, and I see no option for it in BIOS. On another note, I think the audio, graphics, and mouse lag are tied in to each other in some way. It seems we are trying to solve each individually and not looking in a larger scale.
