GP baaa, how you? Whats that Google Desktop??? For a moment I thought you were talking about google TASKBAR... I think MS monopoly is somewhat good for us. Other companies/people take entirely different path and come up with awesome products, which are not quite like MS products but better than them and above all they are free... Linux will kick MS's arse big time in next decade, I guess. eheh... and gmail will kick hotmail's butt.. :P BTW, for the Gmail user, you can virtually store files in the gmail account like yahoo briefcase... and they have a software for that... 1GB storing space... eh.. transfer is same as email attachment.
