@maddoxaom - And in Vista - And even more improved in Windows 7, the start Menu's search in even more intuitive and is probably as good or better than Quicksilver. Indexing is the key either way.

ehm... guy... this software is more than 2 years old. and you do copare it with win7 which comes in 1-2 years (maybe)?? thats funny :)

no no no... Windows Vista's search feature isn't close to the ability of quick silver. Vista and Spotlight search through your Mac/PC, but Quicksilver can perform actions, such as new email, new contact, etc. That's what makes it superior over both Spotlight and Instant Search, both of which aren't even close to the power of Quicksilver.

I just downloaded QS. I am trying to follow your tutorial, but for some reason when I go under install plugins section in preferences nothing is there. How do I get the long list of plugins like you had?

If all you use quicksilver as an app launcher, then yes you are right. However, Quicksilver can do much much more. Go see the more advanced Quicksilver videos to find out.

@earl6282

Your fingers never leave the keyboard with QS. If you're using the dock, your hands come off the keyboard to use the mouse. May not sound like a big deal, but over the course of an 8 hour day, the time adds up. It's more about efficiency than convenience.

@margheritapizza

QS is more powerful and flexible. You can write plugins for it. It can send email and do math problems. It can open a web browser to a specific URL. All quicker and with fewer mouse and keystrokes.
