    Similar to www.executor.dk, which I used for months now. The ability to add plugins is a plus, the default skins and GUI also look better. I like both, haven't yet decided which one to keep.

    I have a 32 bit system and since it's one of the very indispensable little programs for me I give it 5 out of 5 - I tried all other launchers I could find and Launchy is simply the best of the lot.

    @Jille: Launchy isn't a calculator... I think the 1/5 rating is for your inability to read...

    Um. I don't know what the other poster was thinking. This application works fine on my Vista x64 SP1 production system.

    Awesome application!
