This feature was in all previous windowses, but I really can't find it in Windows Vista. And that really sucks. If I'm wrong, I'd be glad if someone could show me how to do it.

And I too bet Anand is just not aware of computers and OSes world. The truth Ashley underlines is that vulnerabilty increases with popularity. Ashley’s comment above points out a truth.

Mac Spotlight features seem interesting ones at a glance on your experience comments, and Leopard users, thus are power-users. Vista millions of users less, they'll enjoy the sentence. Anyway, just curiously, may now OS X platforms support all windows power-apps? Sure? I’m just an every-day-user, you know, so i’m glad with Vista searches.

To activate spotlight I have to press the windows key + spacebar -- one extra key does make a difference. :) AndyDrum wrote:
