Yup, even on a slow machine with a mechanical drive you could blind type the first 3 letters of a program name and slam the enter key. The search filtering was so quick it would have completed the operation in time for your enter key-press to be registered.
Try the same thing on 10 or 11 and you're probably going to end up with a new edge window running a Bing search.

I've recently found that if I "blind type" a search query at my normal (very fast) input speed, it actually enters the keypresses _before_ loading fully, blinks the correct app up for about 1 frame, then resets the input field to nothing! Argh.
