I've been an Alfred user for the last few years.
Recently, I started using my old PC with Windows XP to play a few older games. Goodness, using the Start Button again feels so clunky, slow, and inefficient. I can't imagine why so many people made such a huge uproar about the loss of the Start button in the recent Windows when typing an application name is significantly faster and more efficient.
- commandar 12y agoThe Windows XP start button is not equivalent to the NT6.0/6.1 start button. Personally, I found the Start button in Vista to be a far better app launcher than Spotlight at the time.
- bane 12y agoI'm not sure if comparing the latest in OS X productivity apps to the default installed program finder on a 13 year old operating system is a useful comparison. You may as well be comparing it to the mechanisms in Atari TOS.
- mixmastamyk 12y agoHaving a start button and search are not exclusive. Also, you can also pin highly used apps to the taskbar, which is even faster than searching.
