Google Desktop 2

Google releases version 2 of their Desktop Software. New features include, quote the press release:

• “Sidebar - Provides convenient desktop access to a variety of personalized information including email, news, weather, photos, stocks and RSS and Atom news feeds. Sidebar appears as a small vertical window on the side of a user’s screen that includes a series of “live" content panels.”
• “Quick Find - Enables users to search their hard drive to find files and launch applications as fast as they can type. Using Quick Find, users can type a few letters or words and the top results pop up instantly. For example, a user can launch iTunes just by typing “itu” into the search box and selecting the application from the list of results.”
• “Outlook Toolbar - Enables Microsoft Outlook users to search all of their Outlook email directly from an embedded search box and results list, without having to leave the application.”
