Google Desktop 2.0
Thursday, November 3, 2005 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Software
Google has released Google Desktop 2.
"Microsoft may be afraid to show its sidebar, but Google apparently has no such qualms. The company on Thursday rolled out the final version of Google Desktop 2.0, its venerable search utility that has morphed into a full-fledged desktop application with scriptable plug-ins.
The free Google Desktop combines search with the Google Sidebar, which can be custom tailored with news, weather, stocks and more. Users can add their own content via RSS feeds and create a photo slideshow using local images or those from a Web site."

I don't care for it either. However, I know there are many here who do so that's why I posted it.

I usually love to have a look at the site, and sniff around a bit. Sometimes I download it just to delete it after an hour 9.5 out of 10 times.I think I have everything I need....

I would rather use a desktopX created one if I did though.
