Good information. Now I know for sure why I won't run Vista. I am
now using the Windows desktop search and it seems to run well. The
Google was doing great and then crashed. I don't know what wrong with
it, but I think that they are having a problem with trying to make it
too cute. Just do a nice quick clean search and forget all the
extras. They are not required in desktop search.
