I am not using it. I forbid any kind of "dekstop/browser" add ons. Makes pc slower. Startup slower. Another thing is the spyware. Regardless of google, data is transmitted

i use to link with gmail, as well as use it to get latest rss feeds from slashdot and digg
and the remote desktop search feature is amazing a little dangerous, since it allows google to keep your data for 30 days but still, keeps my documents and stuff synchorinzed between my office and home PC |

Google Desktop Search is too slow for my liking. It takes way more memory resources than Copernic and Microsoft Desktop Search.

It's running amazingly fast here (though I haven't compared it with Copernic and MS Desktop Search, I don't have to wait too long for a search) and not notice any memory issue yet (probably with high RAM on it?). |

Just understand that my company does not allow the use of Google Desktop because of some security reasons.

Google Desktop is not recommended at all..Its a kind of spyware and it allow google to keep copies of your files. Can you imagine that, a copy of your important/personal files is stored at an unknown remote site.
It is never allowed to be used in a corporate environment because of its spyware nature.. Soo.. I still think that using it is a bad idea although its fancy looking. Its one of google scheme to get more data for it to manipulate.. on its journey to online data supremacy.. SAY NO TO GOOGLE DESKTOP SAY YES TO WWW.GOOGLE.COM and its not worth the extra resources that it consumes from your system, which could be used for more productive tasks. |

I personally never trust any of these cheap free mini GUI theatrics programs on my desktop. But if you are okay with it, that's your choice. But be aware of the consequences.
