Google Launches Desktop Search Tool

Posted by michael on from the finding-it-with-both-hands-and-a-flashlight dept.

hanky writes "Google brings search to your very desktop with Google Desktop, a mini Google index of your own. Search your filesystem, Outlook or Outlook Express inbox, AIM instant message transcripts, and Internet Explorer cache. There's a full introduction to the Google Desktop over at the O'Reilly Network. It's Windows-only, but still cool enough for this Mac guy to find it intriguing."

    How much more do we have to read smarmy comments like "still cool enough for this Mac user". What does it actually take to impress a Mac user, for chrissake? The word "Google"? Some colored plastic? A keynote speech by Steve Jobs.

    Come on, guys, the bar is a lot higher than that. Impressing Mac users will get us nowhere.
