Google Desktop Gets a New Update

If you're still using Windows XP, but really love the idea of having a fully loaded desktop search solution at your disposal, you don't have to get Vista just for the capabilities of the search box, because Google Desktop is only a few clicks away...and has more decent system requirements, for sure!


Anyway, since Google Desktop is much more than just a search box, you can install and run it on Vista, too. If you're new to this application, here you have some reasons that may convince you give it a try...

What Google Desktop is, basically, an indexing operation of your hard drive contents, just like the company's server index for later retrieval web pages. This application provides full text search of your emails, files, and any web pages you visited so far.

By turning searches inside your computer into easier and faster searches, just like on the Web, Google Desktop can be a really handy program for those with their computers loaded with large quantities of various data, from text documents to family pictures.

As expected, version 5.7.801.1629, released earlier today, is free as usual, and requires Windows XP, 2000, or Vista, and at least a computer able to run the operating system installed on it without much trouble.

The last version of this application can be downloaded from here, but you have to know that Linux and Mac versions are also available, so everyone should be happy!
