Start...Shutdown...Shutdown. I only ever turn it off on friday afternoons so it always means the weekend is starting :)

"Manage" on the pop-up menu by Right-click the "My Computer" icon on Desktop.

I guess Windows multimonitoring capabilities are fairly nice, uncomplicated and usually just work. (Compared to the xorg.conf tweaking you have to go through with Linux)

The [Win] + [Tab] feature ;P. No seriously, I like the new search feature in vista.

The most efficient use of the four keys that form the third row on your QWERTY keyboard. Along with CTRL key: Z: Undo X: Cut C: Copy V: Paste Wouldn't this be simply powerful and most commonly used key combination?

The usage of more than one monitor... :-)

..on 'NEW' vista it's when you use USB memmory key, you should tell vista few times that her drivers is at c:\windows\system32, becouse she remember what is like to be junkie software ;}

Just another style...

I do not know which Distribution you use. But I'm doing well with my openSUSE 10.2. Never had to tweak anything in my xorg.conf to use my two monitors, even with the crappy ATI drivers which are really poor for Linux. Just used Catalyst to config.

I never got the S-Video out to work on my laptop with Ubuntu 6.06.

It is also colloqially known as 'Three-Fingered-Salute' right? And beyond doubts, it is a great tribute to David Bradley(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bradley_%28engineer%29[^]). :) Wiki Page on C+A+D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete[^]

That Remote Desktop feature is quite cool.

Hey, Thanks for the info. I have been using two flat panel monitors at my workplace for around 2 years, did not know that was called as "windows multimonitoring". Mr. Gates uses three monitors for daily work(checking emails), if I am not wrong.
