I'd have to agree that the Snap feature has been very useful to me.

I also really like Live Taskbar Previews (where you can point to a taskbar icon to see actual images of all of your open files or programs).

I also use the Snipping Tool often. This is was new to Vista, but is included with Windows 7 and I use it everyday! It's a great way to take a screen shot of just a portion of the screen, rather than taking a whole screen screen shot with Print Screen.

Cheers,
Cassandra
