I'm planning on doing a writeup of this on my Linux blog, since I'm doing this from a Linux user's perspective forced to use Windows 7 at work.

But I figured I'd share these with you guys as a preview, and to see if anyone has any others they use that I should consider adding to my writeup when I finally do it.

• UBitmenu: I know, this one's more for Office 2007, not Windows 7, but it's too good to not share.  It fixes the stupid Ribbon UI in Word and Excel by adding a "Menu" tab to it that has the classic style toolbar already built in it.  
  
  
• Dexpot: Adds the ability for users to create virtual desktops, something that's been the norm in Linux window managers and desktop environments for years.  
  
  
• 7 Taskbar Tweaker: Fixes the broken (or lack of) context menus on the Windows 7 taskbar.
  
  
• Ext2Explore: Lets you read Ext2 and Ext3 filesystems, something Windows should really be able to do out of the box in this day and age.
  
  
• Explorer++: A full-featured, flexible, tabbed file manager that's far better than the default file manager in Windows.  After using Explorer++ for the past month or so, I find myself wishing that there was a Linux version of it.

I'm sending these links to the Desktop Support group when I get to work.

I just found out that you can get a "normal" context menu by SHIFT+right-click on an application on the Win7 taskbar.

That would have been nice to know when I was fumbling around with it for 15 minutes at 4:00 this morning, trying to get an application off of my non-existent 2nd monitor.   

Jerks.  Way to make such essential functionality intuitive, you asswipes.

What are Ext2 and Ext3 filesystems?
