Always on the lookout for a better launcher/utility. SlickRun is it. It reminds me a lot of LaunchBar for OSX only not tied to the menu bar.
If you hate to wander from the keyboard to launch a simple application or to check your mail, then this is the utility for you!
Despite having been built on top of Delphi I still like it. 
It just sits, hovering above all else on your desktop minding it's business displaying the date and time:
Hit the magic key combination windows key-Q and type in a "Magic Word":
viola!
Your application or command will be taken care of. Pretty nifty stuff.
Poohbah rating: A+ so far.
