I was just trying to keep my comments about developers down somewhat after my RSS Bandit post, haha, but yes I find it a annoying as well. @Thomas... I did indeed, in fact for at least 4 months after using Vista. Then I just realised the start menu did the same thing and I didn't need to put another third party app on my system. Okay, I know its a little slower and less intuitive but maybe I'm lazy :P @ Daniel. Agreed!

Kind of makes Vista start menu search redundant, IMO. Cheers, Thomas G’day Joshua, do you use an application launcher like Launchy? Kind of makes Vista start menu search redundant, IMO.

In the new Windows Vista it’s been made more attractive but more inconvenient than even before!” I mean to me that just shows the developer is desperate to sell his stuff, rather than acknowledging a good start menu by Microsoft and developing on top of that.
