Do you run multiple programs simultaneously on Windows 7? If so, you’ve probably noticed how cluttered your desktop can get. In Windows XP, to minimize every window on the screen, the quick launch menu had a nice little button called “Show Desktop.” This instantly minimized every window. With Windows 7, this is much more fun!
Windows 7’s Aero Shake feature allows you to minimize every window except the one in which you’re currently working in a single step.

Google’s email service, Gmail, offers chat, calendar sharing, and a hefty inbox. All of this is free! Another great feature of Gmail is the ability to manage multiple email addresses under one account. You can add all of your email addresses to your Gmail account and reduce the number of places you log into down to one. It even gives you he ability to respond to an email from one designated account, or make it dependent upon which email address the email was sent to.
