After being fairly disappointed by Picasa (what it does, is great stuff, but it's so hard to get things organized (read:exported) the way I like it), I'm giving Google Desktop Search a chance. First impressions (from the tin): no FireFox support, no ThunderBird support, no Jabber (or any Jabber client) support, no OpenOffice support, no Mac or Linux support. Why is Google so popular again with the open source community?
