Love: Quicksilver

Quicksilver is the best (more than) launching, searching, organizing, personalizing tool ever created. And you don’t even know it’s there until you summon it and then it goes right back to sleep.

There is no quicksilver for Windows. Most people who have ever used a mac (and quicksilver) and use windows know that it is something to cry over.

The Vista start bar – search and launching is quite neat! And with
Start++ there is some respite – it allows commands such as
Sudo, allows web search, widgets, and integrates with windows vista search folders. But No aliases yet

Other palces to look at
