Must have application for the Mac: Quicksilver
If you’re a Mac user and haven’t yet discovered the simplicity and ease of Quicksilver, then you might as well convert back to a PC… No, not really. That would be ridiculous.
However, I’ve found that Quicksilver is a can’t-live-without piece of software (and it’s free!) for the Mac. In just a quick keyboard shortcut (mine is command-space), I can launch any program, find a contact, schedule an appointment, and generally do anything! It’s much better than Mac’s built-in feature.
Go download and try it out today! I’ve got mine set to load with my Mac, so it’s always running. You can do this by going to System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items and then clicking on the “+” icon below. Navigate to your applications folder and click on Quicksilver. (download and install it first) Voila! You’re ready to roll!
There’s also some great video tutorials here!
Update (9/8/07): There’s a great list of essential “hacks” for Quicksilver here on Engadget.

Yes, I tried to convert one of my Mac using co-workers to Quicksilver so religiously that he began giving me the “well that is nice that it works for you” kind of responses common when I share my faith.
I still have barely scratched the surface on what it can do. One thing I notice on my windows machine is that I don’t think in heirarchy very well. If I file something, I usually have to look in 5 or 6 files to find it again. With quicksilver it is ctrl space and the first 3 letters of the filename.
