Here's Tim Sneath's helpful list of some cool new features for Windows 7. Of course a number aren't really new, but those were generally little known!

Also, from TechNet, are these handy Win 7 multi-monitor hot keys:

  • Win+Home: Clear all but the active window
  • Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop
  • Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window
  • Win+Down arrow: Minimize the active window or restore the window if it's maximized
  • Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the active window to each side of the monitor
  • Win+Shift+Left/Right arrows: If you've got dual monitors, this will move the active window to the adjacent monitor
  • Win+T: Shift focus to and scroll through items on the taskbar
  • Win+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display
  • Win+(+/-): Zoom in/out
  • Shift+Click a taskbar item: Open a new instance of that particular application

More TechNet tips for Windows 7 and other Microsoft products are also available.

I've been on Windows 7 for about a year or so and its the bomb!
