I read this tip from the “Engineering Windows 7″ article published by Microsoft about the time build 7064 was out. It says that there’s a new shortcut that will attempt to “alienate” mice.
In the quick launch part of the superbar, you can push the Windows key + the number that corresponds with the program’s placement on the superbar. So, if IE 8 was in slot 1, you’d just push the Windows key + 1. If there are multiple windows open in IE 8, you can repeatedly push the Windows key + 1 and cycle through IE 8’s windows and only IE 8 windows. It’s like the alt + tab functionality, but way better.
It’d be great if you made a video on this.

I will volunteer to put up a video tip on this technique later today. Looks like a potential great keyboard shortcut…although will take some retraining of years of Alt+Tab
