I did have some problems with seven either crashing or causing my TF3D to crash, which is why I took it off. That was a while ago, so that may be fixed.

Also, with seven, when you install it, it sends a text message to an international number to confirm it is being installed to a valid phone number. So you will get a 20 cent charge on your Sprint bill. This should be a one time charge, just when you set it up, but I have heard other people say sometimes seven would encounter a problem have to "re-set it self up, thus having another 20 cent charge), although I never experienced this.

The reason I don't use Windows Live push anymore is when I reply, I want to reply with my gmail.com address, not my live.com address. One work around would be to use Windows Live to receive emails. When you see an email you want to reply to, switch to another account you setup as IMAP and do a manual send / receive, then reply to the message in that account.... Kind of cumbersome, but the only way I know to reply with your gmail.com address (or whatever address) using the Windows Live method.
Yes that is one problem when replying but when using the send/receive method I have found to be a big battery drain
