WB7 won't load on startup...won't load, and when clicked via my software, won't give me WB Config. Sys info is in Reply #16.
Uninstalled it, reinstalled WB6.4 and all's well so far.

Unless you are talking about IE, yes.
The IE8 tabs will not be skinned, but thats normal for IE8.

Currently it is only provided to those customers who have a current ObjectDesktop subscription.
I suspect early next week there will be an announcement on the qualifying date for free updates for WB customers and the upgrade price for those outside of the free window.

I have that issue on several skins... no off/restart buttons on the start menu. This issue does not appear on all skins, but is present on Clear Black by Butch123, Anihilator by Kitty Malone, WaterWalk by Tom Richter and others. These skins all work correctly in Vista, So I'm assuming it's an issue with the WB7 beta not drawing correctly.
Also, the WB interface is cut off on the right-hand side and I can not access the scroll button to view skins, have to do a manual drag instead.
Other than that, great work Stardock, WB7 with the skins I can use makes the Win 7 GUI more bearable and the OS top notch.
