I rarely used the search and so it annoyed me that there were always two running processes taking up over 20MB for search and indexing, despite the fact that I had told it not to index any more files. If they improved the look and streamlined the processes I'd take another look. I used to use GDS, but stopped because I only really used it for the Quicklaunch box and I stuck those on my start menu.

There are several current gadgets that are way better than those.

It is very sleek and streamlined with the new Vista interface because of the transparency.I've never used a Mac to be able to compare Vista's desktop search with Spotlight, but once you use the search feature in Vista you definitely won't want to go back to XP!

I love the Google Desktop Gadgets. The only problem is that Google and Mac raced to the market with Desktop search and gadgets etc., but Microsoft is going to blow away the market for these two applications once Vista comes out.Thurrott says the desktop search in Vista is better than Spotlight and even though the sidebar is slow loading right now - I'll bet it'll be great by the final release of Vista.
