Google Desktop - very slick!

So its a version of widgets combined with spotlight for pc users in essence? not worth getting for mac then?

Its handy in that if you do a search at www.google.com it includes items from your hard-disk... :cool: Handy when you've forgotten what you have on the hard-disk.
 
I think its making torrents crash - is there a way of stopping it snooping around downloads until they're finished? Utorrent keeps stopping torrents and saying the file is being used by another process. Problem stops once I uninstall Google Desktop. :(
 
I've tried Google Desktop, but i'm just not a big fan of the results layout. I much prefer the layout and interface of Copernic, with searches returned in tabs for things like email, files, video, images, etc.

As for all the other eye-candy that Google Desktop has (clock, feeds, notes, etc.), i can get all that via extensions in Firefox, and my browser is open virtually the whole time i'm on the computer anyway.
