Personally, I think it means you can do things quicker. Guess it makes some people feel more "elite", or an "advanced user", of sorts...

Probably goes back to the days before optical mice. The responsiveness of the mouse after several years of usage often made the user agitated and wanted to learn quicker ways to do their common tasks. Or perhaps because the keyboard was invented before the mouse, so even in a UI environment, the user doesn't feel at home, unless he/she is making use of the keyboard to navigate.

Personally I use W-r with some commands, usually cmd, iisreset, mspaint. I do like to use taskbar buttons, but what's really missing is the ability to map additional keystrokes. (Like if I want to do W-c to get cmd for example.)

I googled a bit for this, but no joy! So far all I can find is how to disable the Win key using scancode map registry hacks.

Perhaps the keyboard feels cool to your touch and you love the sound of the keys going off...!
Frankly if I can get by without my mouse/tracking/touchpad/whatever I feel better for it. Mind you, I am also still one who dives for [Windows]+r | cmd to feel at one with my machine.

Long long ago, when I first assimilated Windows, it was on a "well never mind", the "laptop/luggable" didn't have a mouse and it was Windows 1.x so I learned the key shortcuts for everything and I constantly still find myself favouring a 2-3 finger meta-keystroke to a mousecapade to the same end... shortcuts should be compulsory for everything... why doesn't [windows]+I fire your browser of choice though....

Perhaps it's about taking charge and the need to tell, rather than ask, the computer to do something. Clicking a menu item, as well as requiring patience while locating the item you want, is like asking the computer to run the program. Using the Run window is more like telling it "Oi you, run this! Now!".

In windows XP I have found the QuickLaunch bar to be great. I still sometimes catch myself using [Windows]-R though.

PS. Do you think MS will ever introduce the ability to show the Windows key as a graphic rather than using [Windows]?
