I did try unsuccessfully to disable Google Desktop indexing. And yeah, there is an option to switch on/off shares but its very existence is a worry, so yeah "Off with its head". As far as Microsoft goes, the next stage is obviously to define sharing (device and network access) at the logical (metadata) level that requires a "player" (presumably Microsoft's) to support it. At the very least a media "player" becomes an essential component in this worldview, but does anyone know how open is this model?
