“If you're a power-user, then you like to execute tasks in the quickest way possible. One of Vista's tools that is greatly under-used is the Address bar, and it can do alot more than just search Indexed locations. It can be used as a Run dialog, Search, as well as a browser.

 

If you have a high-resolution display (and who doesn't nowadays), then you can make full use of this multi-purpose tool, and it can take up as much or as little desktop space as you want.
