A variety of new keyboard shortcuts have been introduced with Windows 7:
Global keyboard shortcuts:

Win+Space operates as a keyboard shortcut for Aero Peek.
Win+Up and Win+Down are new shortcuts for Maximize and Restore/Minimize.
Win+Shift+Up vertically maximises the current window
Win+Left and Win+Right snap the current window to the left or right half of the current display; successive keypresses will move the window to other monitors in a multi-monitor configuration.
Win+Shift+Left and Win+Shift+Right move the current window to the left or right display.
Win+ + and Win+ − (minus sign) zoom the desktop in and out.
Win+Home operates as a keyboard shortcut for Aero Shake.
Win+P shows an "external display options" selector that gives the user the choice of showing the desktop on only the computer's screen, only the external display, on both at the same time (mirroring), or on both displays with independent desktops (extending).

Taskbar:

Shift + Click, or Middle click starts a new instance of the application, regardless of whether it's already running.
Ctrl + Shift + Click starts a new instance with Administrator privileges; by default, a User Account Control prompt will be displayed.
Shift + Right-click shows the classic Window menu (Restore / Minimize / Move / etc); right-clicking on the application's thumbnail image will also show this menu. If the icon being clicked on is a grouped icon, the classic menu with Restore All / Minimize All / Close All menu is shown.
Ctrl + Click on a grouped icon cycles between the windows (or tabs) in the group.
