Hey all. Just wanted to let you know that I'm now the proud new owner of my very own MBA - 13. The ultimate edition (256gb, 1.8 Ghz w/ i7), if you please. 
While I have an iPhone 4s & an iPad 2, this is my very 1st Macbook and I'm enchanted to say the least! Here's to another life long user of Windows coming to the dark side.
They all succumb in the end
Questions:
1)Being a long time windows user, I'm naturally inclined to use my non-existent Windows key to do things like copy/paste, select all, etc. How the heck do I make a screen shot on a Mac? I'm sure I'll figure out soon enough how to do the copy/paste without the use of the trackpad.
2)I will still need to use some Windows programs for work like MS Visual Studio, Visio, Project, etc. For that, I've decided to use Parallels with bootcamp so that I can switch back and forth easily, drag/drop items from my VM.
Are there any clear cut instructions for this? I've got the Win 7 iso's on my Mac HD just need to know if I should move them over to an external drive before installing. I searched through some threads but couldn't find any step by step instructions. Also anyone using Win 7, 64-bit, how much did you allocate for space/memory for the bootcamp partition and for the Parallels VM? From what I understand the Parallels VM allows for growth.
Additionally, I wanted to thank those of you who were very helpful in answering my questions over the last few days. You guys are much nicer than the guys over in the iPhone and iPad forums. lol
Now I'm on the hunt to look for a matte skin and a new shell to protect it (incipio maybe?) .....
