With vista I have completely given up on trying to organize that, I have my main programs on the top of the list in the start menu and for everything else I use the search. Mac OS is just so much more fun...

Start menu search is good, I do agree. But then, did you see OS X' Spotlight? It's like that on steroids. Basically, hit alt-space, type in something and hit enter. Launches applications, searches for file names, searches inside files, functions as calculator, searches in your browsing history and so on. Ah, right. Start menu search is good, I do agree.

Now you can hit "windows" button (on the keyboard), type the name of the application, hit Enter and it runs - without any mouse movements/clicks.
