(predates the windows key) Also, Ctrl-F10 -- closes a document in an application -- a tab in a browser, or a source file in an editor with multiple files open.

Also, Ctrl-F10 — closes a document in an application — a tab in a browser, or a source file in an editor with multiple files open.

I doubt the results of the poll would be that interesting, but a pdf/png cheat sheet might be :). Nice list.

There are a lot of hotkeys out there for windows that I didn't include. That is why I named it "Best Windows Hotkey" as opposed to "Every Windows Hotkey That You Can Possibly Find". Can you imagine the huge poll that that would require. I know about the hundreds of lists...Do you really think I typed all that?

Just because most applications accept Ctrl-F as "Find", doesn't mean that it's part of Windows. The Windows Key ones really do belong to Windows. Some clarification: Win+L locks the computer, not just the keyboard. Not to be picky, but it's Win+Pause, not Win+Break that opens system properties. The key itself is Pause - Break is the key modified with Ctrl. If you google windows hotkeys, you'll find hundreds of lists out there with the ones that you missed, like Win+B, Win+Tab, and one I've found very useful, the old-fashioned PrintScreen button.
