[JAWSLite] Re: Be careful of Google Desktop!

I have to say I have google desktop on an xp laptop and a vista laptop,
and don't have any issues with either.  I much prefer the google search
interface.  I also am not sure that the vista indexer handles emails
like google desktop does.

Yes, when you first install google desktop it can slow down things a bit
while it does the initial index.  If you bring up your list of systray
icons with insert+f10, you can pause the indexing for google desktop, or
stop it altogether, until you're able to let it run overnight.
