Who cares!

Please stop it with this Propaganda about Google!
They have a web site and they can report to people that they have added a feature to their Tool bar.
Tell us some real news about the world of search.
Like who is doing new things?
What are the problems with Google, etc. to improve on?
Stop it with this daily Propaganda about Google adding next to nothing to software that very few care about.
I mean who for goodness sake uses a stupid tool bar anyway. That is why we have a web browser.

Agree, sort of...

I do think it is within the scope of CNet's tech news to report on updated software, such as the Google Toolbar. But I agree with Sandra that Google gets a lot of free, favorable coverage, enduring as something of a darling of the tech press, including CNet.

The willingness of Google to bend to the demands of the Chinese government in filtering its search results should be enough strip Google of its cherubic halo. Google should be covered like any other tech entity with a product, its darling status discarded like the words "liberty" and "democracy" in its Chinese search results.

Get a clue fool.

You're getting really annoying with your complete ignorance regarding tech reporting. Every ******* tech news (as well as non-tech ones) organziation has reported on this. The AP, Reuters, PC World, PC Magazine, AFP, CNN, MSNBC, are just a few of them.

Eveytime Cnet does a story regarding either Microsoft or Google or Yahoo! some ignorant wannabe such as yourself comes here and spouts off utter nonsense. If you're going to *****, at least get the product right...it's their desktop search program...not a toolbar, fool.

One more thing, look the word "propaganda" and learn how to use it correctly!

searching across multiple computers

Microsoft has been there and done that with Windows Desktop Enterprise Search Tool, note this not the consumer msn desktop search http://www.microsoft.com/windows/desktopsearch/enterprise/default.mspx

Interface and intergration with other apps blows away google desktop

RE:searching across multiple computers

And Cnet makes no mention of this. Funny how Cnet always has bad things to say about MS


Hey maybe Cnet networks wants Google to buy them?

Also worth noting..

Win XP already has this built-in.

XP's built-in indexing service automatically connects to other XP computers running the indexing service, so you can search on other computer's indexes.

I think it works the same way in Win 2000 as well.

This tool is in beta, but beware--it messed up my Outlook ost file. even after I uninstalled and restarted by PC, Google Desktop was back, asking me for preferences! Ugh.
