Just recently Symbol bought Matrics. Now Motorola has decided to get heavy into RFID and bought Symbol. http://www.motorola.com/med... This could lead to some really interesting product ideas. It could also lead to Symbol going stagnant for a while during yet another corporate restructuring

Since I originally posted this in July, I've gotten absolutely nowhere with Microsoft. I have, however, had a couple hundred google searches for things like “IE7 beta process.start error“. Since then my bug was closed, someone else reopened it, and I've found another similar bug where the IE7 beta and RC take over shell execute and deny programs from being launched. Luckily for me, our workaround was to simply not use the shell (ShellExecute=false) but that definitely isn't an option...
