I was just wondering if Google desktop is good for your Mac or not? Since spotlight has a already built in indexing app...
Does it slow down your system or cause errors?
Any feedback would be nice Thanks
I love Google Desktop on a PC so I was sometimes tempted by it when I had Tiger. Spotlight was sometimes frustratingly slow for me in Tiger, but since switching to Leopard Spotlight it's very fast, so I don't see any benefit to Google Desktop for a Leopard system. Just another system indexing tool using up resources to provide the same service only slightly differently. But if you're curious why not try it... I don't think it hurts anything and you can always get rid of it later if you don't like it. It does present results a little differently than Spotlight and maybe you'll prefer that.
