Can this shortcut your Windows 7 experience?

Plenty of quick keys to get you shortcutitng around the new OS, ergonomic design, mouse included in the price

Overall the Microsoft Comfort Desktop 5000 is a pretty solid package for anyone that is looking for an ergonomic keyboard, although at £47 ($79.99), it's on the expensive side for what you get.
