andysocialMicrosoft has a Google Desktop competitor now. Um, wasn't that the point of the astoundingly slow and useless "indexing" feature they forced into Windows XP? I've never seen an increase in speed in the search results from an indexed drive compared to a non-indexed one, but um...why would Microsoft come up with an add-on program for something that they claim is already built into the OS? I guess they know it sucks too.
Meanwhile, the indexing feature on *nix boxes works fantastically well, indexing things without slowing down the machine while you're using it and delivering search results in milliseconds. Hmm...
