As we tour around Ireland on the Microsoft Ireland community launch events for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 we have been showing some of the keyboard shortcuts available in Windows 7. As I keep saying in these launch presentations, I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts and I am really happy that we have expanded the use of them again with the latest release of Windows. Here is a quick list of some of the shortcuts with a much more extensive list available on the Windows Site here:
