Oh thanks for this announcement. I am actually using Google Desktop for few weeks now and I have seen that my disk space is going somewhere :)) Now everything is clear for me. But why google has done such a space - eating client? I can't understand this thing. Anyway thanks for this post, I will be waiting for other interesting posts from you.

Sincerely,

Mark Cliffson from telecom software development

Hi Eric, thanks for dropping by (and sorry for the late reply)!

With one user it's not so bad, now imagine you have 4 or 5 as I did :(

I am now using windows Vista mostly (as I'm currently working with a lot of Microsoft stuff) and the built-in search in Vista is good enough for me.

I installed google desktop with all indexing options "on"; currently the dbeam file in user/local settings/application data/google/google desktop is over 4Gb!!! I have one email account (gmail) and cuurently one main user only.

Google desktop is a diskspace gobbler...
