Absolutely NONE of those plugins help in this situation (application switching), but nice try. Its *ALL* overpriced, by INSANE amounts.

Personally, I run the OS I coded for myself in PHP.

Hurray, I love how every single discussion we have about any application or piece of hardware inevitably turns into a Mac vs. PC debate! \o/

nVidia and IBM are not Apple Branded and none of it is overpriced.I'm glad you choose a nick which reflects your true state of being.

Even with Vista, though, win-type-enter is slower than launchy, because the program search lags by a second or three.
I split the bulk of the "Macs suck" "No, PCs suck" thread off from this to keep this at least moderately on-topic. I actually discovered Launchy because Tari introduced me to it; does anyone else here use it?
Yeah I use it on all my windows comps and I of course use nix equivalents on my linux installs. tari was the one who introduced me to it also.

*psst, Macs are PCs*
On topic, though, I don't use Launchy or similar since it doesn't give me much. Application launching is nice, but it isn't all that much faster than the Vista start menu. The other crap I could care less about, as I almost always have firefox already running, and I control my media using the media keys on my keyboard.
On Linux, I just use a terminal.
Vista's start menu takes way longer than Launchy for me. It's better at guessing what I'm searching for, too.

You're right, it does. But the last 10 apps listed in the start menu tend to be what I want, and if not I can find it in the all programs listing pretty quickly. Launchy is that tad bit faster for programs I don't frequently use, but not enough for me to care (since its infrequent
)
I also rarely turn off my computer, so things like Firefox and Winamp are pretty much always running.
