For launching stuff without browsing and clicking, I swear by Launchy on Windows. I mapped it to Alt-Space and never looked back.
Remapping the Caps Lock key as another Ctrl key has really made my finger mileage go down considerably. Windows-d for minimizing every open window, if you should find you have too many. Shift-F10 usually opens a context-sensitive menu which you can manipulate with the arrow keys (try it in Firefox - it's pretty awesome). Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- for zooming in and out (works on most applications I know). Ctrl-Home for the start of a document, Ctrl-End for the end. I like to use Ctrl-F to scroll down through web pages rather than using Page Up/Down. Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab for rotating between windows; Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab for rotating between tabs in Firefox.
