Windows 7 AeroShake

hmm, not sure. Basically if you have a few open windows you can grab the top bar and holding left click, shake your mouse and it will minimise all other windows other than the one you are working on. Repeating this again has the reverse effect.

Or just windows key+m, much easier

that minimises all windows. aero shake keeps the window you want to keep on display there for you.
Just tried this out, seems pointless, but kinda cool at the same time!!! 
Win7 is really nice, though my all time fav desktop experience has to be Compiz-Fusion in Ubuntu, I was completely blown away the first time I played around with that!

I've yet to find a real practical use for it, but it's always the first thing I show people when they ask me what's new in W7
I like it.
Sometimes when I'm in an intense convo on MSN, I like to have the convo window only showing on the wallpaper, instead of loads of windows open in the background. This feature lets me do it quickly instead of minimising every single open window.

No it's not the same as wobbly on Linux (which is a lot cooler to watch!) I've actually used it a couple of times because I usually have a ton of Windows open, I forget it's there most of the time though.
I use the drag to top of screen/maximize window feature regularly. I don't use the 50% screen function as much as I thought I would however.
The new taskbar is what I like the most.

Not if you are within the window you want to keep open.
edit/ hmm seems to be hit and miss actually, weird
