Microsoft is dead!

Microsoft is in big trouble on this one. Google will extend desktop search into Apple and Linux and Windows will lose OS share in a big way.

Hard drive search is hot.

Just think of the future applications when files on hard drives can be used as public search results making everyones PC a source for search results.

Apple's Spotlight

The nice thing is that Mac users will then have far superior
searching capabilities than anything on Windows. Not only will
Google's search be available, but also Apple's Spotlight
technology will let people search their hard drives probably
faster than the Google search, and save the results in Smart
Folders. And it'll be out in 6 months I believe MS has pulled their
new search engine from Longhorn, which won't be out for more
than 1.5 years...

what was that?

- What planet do you live on? Google's search tool works ok but the standard XP search is fine for 98% of Earth.

Just think of the future applications when files on hard drives can be used as public search results making everyones PC a source for search results.

- good luck getting past my firewall.
