Doing to Windows what Windows did to DOS.
John Battelle’s Searchblog posted a copy of the press release announcing the 1.0 upgrade of the increacingly interesting Google Desktop Search. Highlights include better features, the ability to use a search engine function on the contents of your own computer, etc.
But wait, there is more. The new GDS will also create a floating “search box” independent of any browser, which you can place anywhere you want on top of Windows. Hmmmm. This sounds very, er, post browser, very…Web 2.0. See my musings on how web-based apps are starting to do to Windows what Windows did to DOS here….and man, this sure feels a lot like a paving stone down that particular road.
