I'm after a way to minimize the active window in Windows with a keyboard shortcut, just like cmd + m works on my Mac.

Using the Windows Key + Down Arrow.
Update: If the window is Maximized, it will first go "Un-maximized" then a second Win + Down Arrow will Minimize.
Here is a link to all of the Windows Key Shortcuts available in Windows 7.
Edit (new link):
(for reference this was the old link):
1Minimizing single window is not possible via simple shortcut. However, you can use combination of two shortcuts Alt+Space followed by letter N.
Pressing Alt+Space opens the context menu for the current window and the keyboard mapping of the Minimize option is 'n'.
