We've covered clipboard applications for OS X in the near past (well-nigh exhaustively), so it's only fair that Windows clipboard applications get a little love and affection.

ClipX is a handy little clipboard manager for Windows which allows you to copy multiple items to your clipboard, then pick and choose which one to paste, either through a mouse selection or use of a hotkey. ClipX allows you to copy both text and images.

ClipX abounds with customizable options:

Change how many items to remember on the clipboard (up to 1024, perhaps a number of significance for the developer)
Choose a sound to play when a clipboard entry is recorded
Enable multi-user or multi-session support

ClipX has plugin extensibility as well. Here are a few of the more useful ones:

ClipX Stickies Plugin 1.8: Keeps a list of permanent entries at the bottom of your history.
ClipX Auto Update Plugin 1.5: Automatically checks for and downloads the latest version of ClipX.
ClipX Limits Plugin 1.1: Lets you ignore some clipboards based on size in memory.
