Recently by the gorgeous chance of random RSS readings, found a post on LifeHacker about Colibri, which is a useful and minimal application launcher for windows. I'm not saying they invented anything new, in fact the post says it's much like a Quicksilver application for/from the Mac OS. I couldn't care less, I don't have a mac. But if we can learn something from the precious mac interfaces and ease-of-use, be welcomed.

Anyway, the app remains on your systray, and when you hit Ctrl+Space brings up a minimal slick rectangle and you start to type letters from the name of the application you want to run and then hit enter. It's dinamic and fast, and seems there are plans for adding several interesting features. Check the website for better info and free download.
