I've always been a diehard Yahoo! user since the beginning of time--okay, since the beginning of the Internet for the masses. Even though Google's been garnering most of the press these days, I just avoided all the hoopla and stuck with my trusty Yahoo! tools...
...then, I snuck a peek at Google Desktop and now I've TOTALLY bought into all the hype. What a wonderful little piece of technology!
Once the application has indexed all your files and e-mails (have to have your e-mail client open to do this), you can press the Ctrl key twice to bring up a search dialog box, type in your key words, press enter, and Google Desktop displays EVERYTHING found like an Internet search...fully clickable.
I work at a job that often requires backup communications--this little freebie app is totally indepensable! I'm a Google believer at last ;-)
