I’ve been trying out Google Desktop for a while now, here’s my experiences from start-to-finish..
Installation is fairly simple, just the usual click of the next, next, next, NEXT! button.
It wants to close all of your browsers, i said NO! because i’ve got loads on the go (as usual!) in multiple browsers, both opera and firefox – it wanted to close both!
Now, it took up the right-hand 100 pixels on my screen. My screen is fairly large, but even still i’m not really happy about using up that amount of real estate on my screen. You can thankfully re-size it to around a 50 pixel width.
