The upgrade is not a big news, but Microsoft's frustration over Gmail coming on front line and trying to compete with Microsoft. Another frustration to Microsoft is Google Desktop released only last month. If the computer is used by only one user, its a great thing to try. You will forget the MS File Explorer's dumb file search mechanism. Google is also going to release web surfing IE like software, and that will surely hit the market as long as its going to be free. Google Desktop is so great that Google internet explorer if comes it will be a breathrough in crushing out the MS monopoly. How many of us really care privacy in the Google Desktop attacks us? If our prvacy was so important, how come were getting so many spams from Hotmail or Yahoo: because Hotmail and Yahoo themselves sell our emails to someone else as their so called partners. Do you care to read all these Terms and Conditions? Then, whats the use of being so concerned as long as the system is free of Hard cash (nothing is free: your time is also money. Time can not always be convrted to hard cash, thus, time is going to be wasted means you can use to as a virtual money using the free stuffs like hotmail or yahoo or google stuffs.). GP
