Windows 7 Has Lots of "God Modes"

An anonymous reader writes "Those intrigued by the 'GodMode' in Windows 7 may be interested to know that there are many other similar shortcuts hidden within the operating system — some going back to Vista or before. Steven Sinofsky, Windows division president, said several similar undocumented features provide direct access to all kinds of settings, from choosing a location to managing power settings to identifying biometric sensors."

    Seriously, what in the name of the flying spaghetti monster is going on here? There must be all kinds of sauce in the code to support this kind of stuff... and if the control panel UI is so bad they are hacking this stuff in... what does it say about the control panel UI? Thank god they haven't forced me onto Win7 at work yet!
