If the allegations are found to be true, then it would be rather funny, I've always though of adding a few lines to remove some other programs registry settings. Oh well

Conflict of interest?

Wouldn't that be considered a conflict of interest? I mean that's, at the very least, an amicable pre-existing relationship.

I've run vista...

... since January 2007, and I've only a coupel of times used any SE other than Google.

As for slowing Google Desktop Search down - Vista changed a lot of things, lots of apps don't quite work how they did previously, until the developers catch up and patch them/work out what's going on.

Who cares...

... like I'm bothered with Google desktop search when I have Vista, it looks so pretty :)

"But doesn't it slow down everything?", funnily enough no it doesn't, I was expecting it to but installing Vista has meant my Laptop has started performing a lot better than when I had XP Media Centre (or XP 98 2nd Edition as I liked to call it).
