I've had no such issues. Do you mean from the subject that you had 
fedora 4 installed, and then you inserted the fedora 7 dvd and chose to 
upgrade ? All apps I use at work {thunderbird, firefox, gkrellm, 
vmware-server {not part of fedora}, vnc, tsclient, wired networking, 
1400x1050 display} all work fine.

Is this in relation to skype, or in general operation ? How do you mean ?

Can you actually speak in specifics here ? Which packages ?

In my opinion on the hardware I have it on: dell poweredge 1600sc and hp 
compaq nx6320 {core 2 duo}, Fedora 7 is a definite improvement on all 
previous releases.
