I use both systems and I think that Spotlight is much more powerful and easier to use and configure as a power user. It works like a smart playlist for files. The Windows interface is counter-intuitive. Don’t forget, Mac had spotlight about three years before Windows had a decent search tool.

Just click the magnifying glass, in the upper right corner, in the menu bar. Then you can just start typing. You don’t have to press a single key to access spotlight.

Now you can get spotlight with a press of one button.

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?
