Google Desktop 2 (beta)

Okay, Google Desktop is back in the lead over Yahoo! Desktop Search.

Yahoo! had the advantage when they basically made x2 available for free, but now Google has the Outlook toolbar and the amazing sidebar. The sidebar is kind of a competitor to another Yahoo! buy, Konfabulator, with the panes a sort of less curvy version of the widgets. Downloaded the API, but I haven't checked it out yet. Maybe after I finish up with the Code Jam.
