    Hi Jacob

    A lot of buzz has been created during the last 24 H. I think I’ll let other make the testing on MSN Desktop Search. A few have mentioned that the installation causes heavy performance problems - let’s see. Until now I’m pretty amazed of Google Desktop

    Best Regards

    HHHH

    It seems like this “Desktop Search Hype” is going to continue. Ask Jeeves is probably also going to launch a similair service, for more see http://www.searchenginelowdown.com/2004/12/exclusive-first-look-at-ask-jeeves.html.

    I must admit I really cannot see any potential in desktop searching, especially not when considering I am a Mac user and will have spotlight in less than a year?

    Aside from all of the Desktop Search news, it seems that Google has launched in-line maps of European cities now. Even Copenhagen is included, eventhough it only appears on a search for “København” and not “Copenhagen”.. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=K%C3%B8benhavn

    Not a big thing, but a nice little feature :)
