I’ve had Windows 7 on my new laptop for a while, but about a month ago I noticed a little thing called a “Snipping Tool”. At first, I wondered what it was, but eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check it out. It literally allows you to ‘snip’ a piece out of a photo, a website or a document.. or anything else that happens to be on your screen at the time. You can save it as a .jpg or you can even email it to someone. It is the most handy thing EVER. I love it, and now that I know what it does, I tend to use it all the time.
If you have Win 7, you should definitely try it. It puts print screen to shame.
I REALLY like Windows 7. I have it at work and home now. One of my favorite tools is the snapping tool, which allows you to snap a document to each side of the screen just by pulling it there. Then, you can work on things side by side and you no longer have to do the whole drag and re-size thing. I also love the sticky notes, I use those a lot at work.

Ooh I haven’t tried the snapping tool.. only the snipping toool I’d better find it and use it too… because that could be very handy as well for working side by side
