When Microsoft announced that it was adding integrated desktop search functionality to Windows Vista (then called Longhorn) in October 2003, the race began. Since then, various companies, including Apple, Copernic, Google, and Yahoo have all released desktop search products and all of them, except for Apple's, are free (Microsoft even got into the game with MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search). But all of these products have one thing in common: They never would have been announced during 2004 had Microsoft not first revealed that it was making the feature a standard feature of the next Windows. The company's competitors had wisely gambled that Longhorn wouldn't ship on schedule and that their solutions would benefit from time to market. (Source)Originally posted by: 13Gigatons
