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

spyware?

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.

afaik, google wont store your files in their server. smile.gif

but yes, they do have some securities issues where people in the network can search the files of other computers.

not to offend, but some how i think it's not so applicable if u've organize yr stuff.
or perhaps u can giv me some good features that noteable.

the reason desktop search exist is for u to un-organize ur stuff laugh.gif

why waste time on organizing files when u can search for it? and it will be very tedious why u wan to organize thousands of files.
