No attempts at internet outbound attempts like Copernic.

Great interface unlike Googles.

Toolbar not as good as MSN but pretty good.

Allows for filename index only on drives that don't require content indexing.

It's for the 99% who are lazy and don't bother deleting or moving anything.

The 1% spends hours organizing there files while rest are hitting on your girlfriend at the bar.

i had the MSN one, the google one, and dont know about this one.

i wish there was a comparison, i truly dislike the msn one while the Google one does fine.

Looks good but I haven't had a need for anything like that yet. I'm pretty organized so finding things on my hard drives is easy enough at the moment.

I wonder if it modifies any yahoo cookies to save usage data to trasmit to its spy servers?...

Googles dts is nice - easy to find files making it very quick to access them, but not enough options and flexibility.

It would be nice if one of these would include firefox/thunderbird.

Does it support Thunderbird? Looks like it only supports Outlook and Outlook Express from first glance.
