    I have just used google desktop. Its theme is so cool. I can put all my tasks in gogle desktop to keep track. I can use it to chat, read news ...
    It is worth to try. But only one thing i do not like, it keeps my personal information and i wonder if it keep them secret.

    Google desktop certainly does rock :) I've been using it actively for more than a year and it's pretty cool!

    Somewhere there is an option to tell it not to keep a record of your search history. I don't remember where it is, but might want to look for it.

    I do n't like Google Desktop as it always slows down my computer (Even though I have 512 MB) and also with that you can't be sure whether Google is spying on you or not!

    You have 512MB RAM? Are you serious, I had 2 GByte RAM in 2003.

    The same thing crossed my mind. We have 3 computers at home

    1 gig RAM

    2 gig RAM

    Laptop @ 1 GIG RAM

    Nothing too fancy. But when I read the "512" I thought "512... no wonder its slowing down".

    Now, 512 is better than my first computer when I had 32 RAM and Windows 3.1 - but it's getting there :rolleyes:

    My new computer came pre-installed with Google Desktop, and one of the first things I did was switch off its indexing and desktop widgets. I'm wondering whether or not I should uninstall it altogether. What are the best reasons to keep it?
