Yeah, Google Desktop doesn't seem conceptually much different than what's promised for Tiger. The part that probably won't be in Tiger is the smooth Internet integration--with Google Desktop you can search both the Web and your local hard drive.

The O.S. will index everything on the computer, so if I typed in your name, and you were in my email, my calendar, my address book, and if I had written you a letter, then by just typing your name I would be presented a list of every instance you appear on my computer, and the program that had your reference. The results will be instantaneous as it is with Google, it just seems it may be a little more secure as we are dealing with Apple and not another firm. You have now drained me on this, but others may provide greater detail. John R. On Nov 1, 2004, at 1:56 PM, Marta Edie wrote: > What are they planning for "Tiger" ?
