Really? Win key is actually quite comfy if you know how to use it.

If I want to access "Mi PC" without looking for the icon I press Win key + E.
If I want to zoom in the whole desktop to an specific area I press Win key + "+ key". Quite handy when emulators/flash games don't support Window resize/full screen and stick to native resolutions. You press Win key + Esc to cancel zoom in.
If I want to browse through windows in Aero I press Win key + Tab key. I don't use Alt + Tab anymore.
If I want to run a program through dialog box I press Win key + R.
If I have a lot of windows open and I want to clear the desktop (minimize all) I press Win key + D.
And the list goes on.

Everyone has a mouse, but I'm still quite old school. The less I depend on the mouse the better (BTW, impossible to do when browsing internet). Do you have an idea how many shortcuts you had to actually learn in WordStar? :P Maybe I should check if MESS can run it.
