Help me out a little here

That's what the QuickLaunch toolbar is for...

 

I've now switched to always using the Windows start menu search as an
application launcher a la Spotlight in OS-X. Hit the Windows key,
start typing the name of a program and hit return. Seems to be much
faster than trying to find where I've hidden a shortcut and keeps the
taskbar nice and clean.

 

Yeah I've got the standard Office/net type stuff on there. Desktop's
more current work stuff, iyswim - links to folders, scripts etc. So not
really apps at all, but I was being lazy.

 

I'm a Windows-D person myself.

 

In fact, for ages now on XP, I've just done Start->Run Winword, or
Excel, or notepad, etc

 

I didn't do it on XP because I could never remember what programs
where actually called. I like how Win 7 searches for them really
quickly.

 

Careful, it won't be long before you're opening up a shell prompt and
piping commands together like a real power user.

 

God no. I use Macs.

 

Oddly, I think, "What a ****, but fair play for screwing load of cash
out of rich fools."

How quaint. I use Windows-R myself

Doesn't everyone?

I was quite surprised to discover that changing the system location
gives different sets of images.

 

My phone's like that. In the UK, it shows the Houses of Parliament, in
France the Arc de Triomphe and in Sweden some monument in Stockholm (I
guess!)

 

The town hall, at a guess?

Poncy GUI over a UNIX kernel. You're just one step away.

 

Wow, it's a small wonder that people can put their phones away for a
moment.

 

Indeed. I'll be on tenterhooks as I land in Greece next month. Which
one of the many monuments will it display?

I'm going for the Parthenon.

 

I hate to say this, but I'm with the ginger one on this. I was
Windows-M until I found Windows-D.

 

"stop posting" is more succinct.
