Quicksilver Now Open Source!
Quicksilver, the excellent extensible (and in my opinion indispensible) utility for Mac has now gone open source!
Head devoloper Alcor has opened the gates wide and released the source to Quicksilver as a Google Code project. If you're the type that likes to dive into code, go on and take a look! I can only hope that this move by Blacktree will make Quicksilver even better than it already is. I might even dive into the code myself and add some nifty Leopard Core Animation effects.
Don't know what Quicksilver is? If you have a Mac, you should! At first glance it's a beautiful keyboard launcher, but with the plethora of plug-ins available, it's so much more. Take a gander at Blacktree's FAQ and Documentation page to learn more about Quicksilver.

For those limited to Windows, check out Launchy, http://www.launchy.net/ The open source Windows alternative.
Someone at work introduced this to me a few weeks ago and I'm lovin it.
That launchy program looks interesting. I'm really liking the search tool in Vista though. Would you say launchy is more efficient than the Vista Search?
I'm still (happily) on XP, so I'm not sure about the efficiency of Vista's Search. I know when I tried using the new Windows Search on XP via the Office 2007 install, it brought my machine to its knees. Launchy is super lightweight and fast.
