What was the name of that Right/Middle Click Circle-based interface app launcher
nontroppo:

There isn't really good generic radial menu (RM, also called pie menus) software for Windows that I could find, there is RadiaLM (haven't tried it), and some plugins for Firefox (thus not available elsewhere).

On OS X, there is a fantastic selection of options:
Constellation, a plugin for the über-launcher Quicksilver. Great iterative interface (radial menus stack for more options, and can be contextual). As usual on OS X and Quicksilver, looks beautiful:

An intelligent radial launcher, Sapiens. Analyses application types and groups related apps, also keeps items spatially consistent within their relational groups:

UPDATE: ah, Orbit looks like a good windows alternative :-)
greasypigstudios:
orbit was what i was looking for, but the firefox extensions look awesome!
SirSmiley:
Be careful with Orbit because last time I used it there was adware bundled in.
Another windows one is Magic Formation by TokyoDownstairs. It takes a bit to get use to but, I like it.
greasypigstudios:
TokyoDownstairs is an awesome program, better than Orbit, which was what I was looking for. Thanks for the help everyone!
Armando:
i must say that Quicksilver's constellation is quite something.
