Earlier this year, in a fit of open-source gallantry I decided to make the switch to Ubuntu, no dual-booting. This lasted about 2 months before I got tired of having to run XP in VirtualBox 24/7 to run Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Sure, there are good Linux alternatives to each program but ... no one on PC uses the Linux alternatives. So if you are collaborating with others, there isn't a whole lot of choice as to what programs you have to use. (I tried WINE and Crossover as well, but Virtualbox was most reliable.) Most people in the world have and will keep using Windows. (I have some faint memory of a government criticizing OLPC for not using Windows, but a faint memory is all it is) It's not unreasonable at all to hope that MS gets their act together. Most people with tight budgets will go for a PC over a Mac almost every time. Faust-C: I would tend to agree with Macs offering more, but Linux isn’t quite there yet.

I find it very humorous that all that you wish for is available in other operating systems. If you desperately need windows then keep using it and supporting a company that doesn't really care about end user experience as much as they do about end user $$$. Mac maybe expensive but imo at least you get far more than windows offers by default. And linux well... linux has it all aside from games (but that is already changing) Good luck w/ Windbreak 7 Keep wishing.

Just hitting the windows key and typing 'wo' brings up word within about quarter of a second. That's not too bad at all imo. It certainly doesn't justify using launchy anymore in my books...

E.G. I pres Alt + Spacebar and then I type "en" Enter ..And what happens is that immidiatly my english-dutch dictionary pops up. I can't do that so fast with vista search because it will show to much results so you have to navigate true the list. Launchy just takes the best option and a lot faster.
