I agree.

The new ribbon interfaces in the Office Apps that don't have menus
(where you can discover keystrokes) excaerbates this.

That having been said, my favorite new Win7 shell keyboard shortcut is
Shift+Win+UpArrow.

  I'm told that if you hook a mouse with more than one button up to a
Mac, the right button will actually bring up a context menu for some
things.  Haven't tried it.

  I think context menus are a wonderful thing, greatly contributing to
ease-of-use, and I don't get why Apple is so dead set against them.
Prolly just Not Invented Here syndrome.

  I've notice that Microsoft seems determined to take away (or at least
make harder to find/use) shortcut keys.  Vista makes it very hard to
find the "show shortcut keys" option (whatever it's actually called),
and even when enabled, it doesn't seem to work consistently.
:-p
