The start menu is just slow when you can press a key or a combination of

Playing devil's advocate, what about the times when you don't know the
name of the application?
That's why I use the start menu once in a week (at most).
  With respect to using command line (which is
essentially what you are doing), it works for power users, but what
about people who like to point-and-click?
No, it's not the command line, you get the command line with Win+R.
The thing I get is more like Google for the start menu (with Launchy on XP) and Google for the "most interesting places" of the PC (on 7).



Cheers,
