W7 MC OMG, what have I been missing?

[mowerman]

I've been using Vista Business since the first day it came out and only recently switched to W7 RTM. Because I used Vista Business version I had no idea that WMC even existed. It did not come with the Business version of Vista. After discovering it in W7 I was like...WOW, what have I been missing. So I bought myself a cheapie Power Color TV card so that I could watch the news in a small window while I surfed the net. Every day I keep finding more and more things to view and see from this great program. I've decided that my next build will have to have HDMI ports so that I can make it a HT. One thing that I'm having trouble with though is where is the "help" for WMC? I've kind of figured out all the controls by "poke and hope" with my mouse as I do not have a remote yet. It would be nice to have a guide for things such as hotkeys etc. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
