For those that have installed Windows 7 RTM, has the 70 item (program icons) limitation been fixed?
Problem is mentioned here:

It happened to me too when I upgraded from Vista x64 to Windows 7 x64 RC1 7100. I hope it's fixed in RTM build. It got on my nerves that I had to uninstall several programs I needed/deleted icons just to make the program icons reappear again.
(Oh, pre-ordered Windows 7 Ultimate from NewEgg.com. I can't wait to get it come October. It'll make a nice birthday present for me.)
Not to diminish the bug, assuming the bug still exists and the limitation is 70 items under programs and not 70 total (e.g. 10 folders with 7 programs in each), I can't imagine ever hitting this limit.
Although i try to avoid clicking through the menu, I would go crazy if I had to scroll through 70 menu items (before opening a folder).
With that said, I would hope that this beta bug was long ago fixed.
