Sorry, let me rephrase it:
the windows 7 systems not affected by this bug are very low in numbers.
Over all OpenAFS works quite fine on Windows7, even better with roaming
profiles in OpenAFS than WinXP.
One very sad downside: UAE and the "run as admin" function. E.g. if I
try to install some software from OpenAFS space (logged in as usual
user), it asks for admin credentials and afterwards the process with
windows admin credentials has no more access to OpenAFS.
Solution: copy file to users desktop, install from that location, delete
from desktop. Sometimes security is a pain ;-)
