Good point. The author of the article claims that typing certain things into the search field cause Vista to start churning and searching, which is why he wanted his “Run…” button back. I can’t say either way which is better, since I’m primarily a Mac user who still uses XP on his PCs.

You can actually start regedit or Explorer by typing “regedit” or “c:\” directly in the Vista Start Menu search field. You don’t need Run… command for that. With that functionality of the search field, the Run… command is actually longer way to do things.
