Is there a "start" button

How do I browse installed software? Do Macs have a "start" button similar to Windows or do I just go to "applications" in my hard drive?

Just go to applications. It's not that hard.

Hey,

Going along with what AxL said, I would recommend using Quicksilver

Its my favorite launcher out of all of them.

I'll second QuickSilver... it's a "can't live without" app for alot of us.

Is there a way to copy the application item and paste it into the dock, thus leaving it in the finder sidebar too?

If you are interesting in what Quicksilver is, I would suggest taking a look at this video.

Thanks, I had heard of that but (again) never knew what it was or what it did...
