the shortcut Option-Command-Right Arrow exist from system 7.5, and Option-Command-Drag exist from system 8.
You're not an old-school mac user, eh?

@2 He probably got the update notification from one of these feeds. http://www.apple.com/support/rss/ I know it was in the OS X feeds.

And let's not forget:
option-click on the close button of a Finder window to close ALL of them!
command-click the Finder window title to see the path to the folder you're in, and you can select a parent folder from the dropdown menu.
command-delete to move a file immediately to the trash
command-right arrow (end of line), command-left arrow (beginning of line), command-up arrow (top of document), command-down arrow (bottom of document).
option-top/bottom previous or next paragraph
option-left/right previous or next word
Note that these move the text cursor (if appropriate) whereas the "home" and "end" keys do not. And if you combine the shift key, text from your current position to the top/bottom/left/right will be selected for copy and cut operations.
None of these are in the "one."

Neither are my favourites:
1. Hover over any selectable word (i.e. in a doc or on the internet) and hold Control - Command - D for a mini dictionary entry.
2. Hit F5 whilst typing a word (fn - F5 on notebooks) for a 'word completion' list.
Lovely.

Did they fix the cmd-space being mapped to two things by default?

I've just sent in a correction to Apple. It's not necessary to hold the Command key in the Finder List View for the following:
Command-Right Arrow Expand folder (list view)
Option-Command-Right Arrow Expand folder and nested subfolders (list view)
Command-Left Arrow Collapse Folder (list view)
