Is there an easier way to screengrab in Windows?

It's super smooth to do a screen capture in Mac: 

1. command + shift + 3 to capture the whole screen. 
2. command + shift + 4 > click + drag to capture part of the screen. 
3. command + shift + 4 > spacebar > click to capture a window.

In all cases, a png image will appear on your Desktop. So easy, so intuitive! (Once you remember the key combinations. I think to myself, "capture + screen + x...") 

On Windows, I press the Prnt Scrn key, open Paint, paste in the image, save as jpg, then crop as needed. Very messy. Is there an easier way? Maybe I'm just being a Windows n00b and doin it rong. Feel free to correct me, if I am. 

In the mean time, I'm going to review SnapIt Screen Capture Software. I'll see how it goes and let ya know.
