I can type up to 180wpm and I have to intentionally slow myself down to half speed, to use microsoft's start menu, wow. Typing "cmd.exe" or "notepad" in windows start menu, seeing those applications briefly appear as I type, but by the time I press return, it forgot about the match, and launches a bing search instead.

I feel like microsoft is still cluseless, looking at bing analytics and thinking millions of people search for "notepad" every day because they really think its a great thing to research?

I'm amused because I remember typing on an 8 bit computer over a 300 baud modem to a different 8 bit computer that was echoing back and it was always able to keep up. Like you I find anything that can't do as good as the above setup unacceptable. Too bad I can't get It to put some reasonable selection criteria in the system
