Microsoft will launch its highly anticipated operating system Windows 7 tomorrow and the Internet will be flooded with information. We will of course be covering the launch and have been playing with the operating system for a couple of months. We’re quite happy with what Microsoft has accomplished. We will be offering some useful tips on Windows 7 that will show what it has to offer beyond the polished exterior. First up is a tip for the multi-monitor or HTPC users.

Windows key + P
This enables users to switch between different modes or displays. This is very efficient for those who can’t use the clone mode because of different resolutions, or switch primary screen for e.g. Blu-ray playback(that doesn’t work in clone mode no matter the resolution).
Windows key + P
