Hi there,
You might want to have a look at this list by Scott Hanselman:

Some tools have already been mentioned here (Gmail notifier) but there are some good finds as well.

I haven't gotten a chance to work with it too much, but (so far) it seems to do what it does very well. OGG converts to MP3 with very good quality so I'm happy. But that's all I really wanted it for anyway. :mrgreen:
Also has a nice glassy/modern look to it if you're into the whole Windows blingy thing. (I'm not. :P)

Note: I've been told erightsoft's SUPER media converter utility (my favorite :up:) also works under Windows 7 but I haven't had a chance to verify how well it works. Has anybody tried SUPER using Win7 yet?

There are some software lists here:

It'oriented to Seven compatible rather than Seven required though.

Just out of curiosity...has anybody run into an app or utility that is Windows 7 specific - or is it too early for that?

I haven't other than tuners. The only thing I've seen is Jump List support.
