In the new Office suite, Microsoft has thrown together a powerful and intuitive keyboard shortcut framework for navigating with the Alt-key

I am sort of letting a cat (Lifehacker) out of the bag and disclosing on of my uber-valuable sources with this one but you have to stick to your principles and “share the love.” What can I say? One of my main services is “Human meta filter.” It’s for Windows peeps only so OSX folk have to just suck it up.
I love my keyboard. Quicksilver is one of the first things I install on my machines. So even though I am not a regular user of Office 2007 I am totally loving what Microsoft have done here. If you take a look at the screen shot photo gallery that Adam Pash has put together, every time you press the alt key little keyboard shortcut letters appear above menus and buttons. Super nice! A very elegant way (IMHO) to reveal the shortcut and help new and transitioning (from older versions) users become more familiar with the interface.

Control the setup with a Logitech all-in-one remote and Logitech Dinovo Mini Keyboard and you can watch, record, time shift, push to iPod etc all off your TV. Now, add the QuickCam Pro and you can have video chat conversations with your mates at the same time, all from the comfort of you couch! Nice! Perfect for my 2 yo to chat to his grandparents (sitting in front of a computer does NOT work).
It may sound like I am a bit of a Logitech shill but I assure you this is not the case (I wish! I might get some freebies then!) I have just used a lot of their stuff and found it to be of sound quality and reliability. I have also been impressed by the cross platform support on most of their product line.
