Rant over : Start menu like option in OS X!

I’ve got a small problem with OS X and that is that OS X doesn’t have the Programs like menu, where it lists all the installed applications. Fine most of the applications are listed in the applications folder but still many utilities are such which are present in other areas of the system and if I don’t know the name of that utility then I’ve got no way to access it!

I guess it was stupid of Apple for not providing such a menu in the Apple Menu! I’m not sure about others but certainly it’s not present in my OS X (Leopard).

So here comes my suggestions to address the problem which we just discussed above :

1. QuickSilver : is a wonderful software and a great program launcher and not just that it is capable of doing a lot. It’s definitely comparable to Launchy for windows or vice-versa.

2. Todos : In real sense this is one software which actually solves are problem. It’s not a menu but at least it displays all the applications which are in the Applications folder or in the folders under Applications folder.

So my little rant from OS X (Leopard) is over and I’m happy to run Todos and QuickSilver all the time on my machine at least, I can access the wonderful free applications which one gets with Apple Mac.
