From The AP:
1:05 a.m. ET June 20, 2007
SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. will make changes to the program that helps Windows Vista users search their hard drives, in response to antitrust complaints from Google Inc., according to a U.S. Justice Department report issued late Tuesday.Google filed a 49-page document with the Justice Department in April claiming Vista’s desktop search tool slowed down competing programs, including Google’s own free offering, and that it’s difficult for users to figure out how to turn off the Microsoft program.
Finally, somebody that’s willing to throw down against M$.

what are advantages/disadvantages of windows desktop search function vs google desktop search function? Which would you recommend for XP? Which for Vista? Assume I should not run both (computer running xp crawled until I stopped running google desktop, but think i may be missing something). Thanks.
