OSX has a key combo (Option-Shift-3) for whole-screen. Another key combo (Option-Shift-4) enables you to select the space to grab. When in that mode, you can hit space bar and click a window, which grabs not only the window, but the shadow-effect for that window. And, best of all, it creates these in PNG--with transparency for the shadowing--by default. Windows just caught up from its old "Use 'Print Screen,' and then paste into MS Paint" method. --Ted HP:

Be sure not to cheat by using a laptop or something with Linux in it. You should try to do everything you normally do, except with Windows. I really like the idea.
