Where can I find the best set of rules to follow for developing a Delphi application for Windows 7?

Well, you can check out the Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines...
Mainly, the best thing to keep in mind is to follow the principle of least surprise. Make your app work the way your users expect your app to work. If it has pieces that look like Office, make them work like Office. If it has pieces that look like Explorer, make them work like Explorer.

Good comment. But even Office's interface has changed, and radically at that with the introduction of the Ribbon.

That 2nd link would have been a great answer to my question: "During Installation, where do the Various File Types go on Vista". http://stackoverflow.com/questions/427164/during-installation-where-do-the-various-file-types-go-on-vista Thanks for that.
