Google Desktop 2.0 (Beta) review by PC Magazine: "a heavily customizable sidebar for bringing Internet content straight to your PC"

Why I love Google Desktop, Bulleted version

• It only takes up a vertical 16% of my screen.
  
• Pick photo folders and websites, it slideshows through ALL of them.
  
• Quick View is like favorites, but different
  
• Web Clips quickly shows the latest content from my friends' pages
  
• News is regularly updated with fresh stories
  
• Most importantly, email (Outlook or gmail, maybe others) shows up almost immediately.
  
• Weather, Stock Quotes, What's Hot, Scratch Pad
  
• Desktop search provides Results-As-You-Type.
