Google has finally decided to hit the desktop. We all know it's going to be good. The question is now, do I want Google to know what's on my hard disk?

I'm getting the same kind of itchy feeling I had with A9. I wonder if it'll go away. I'm happy enough with the way Lookout lets me search my mail and documents quickly. How much better is Google's search, and how much privacy do I have to give up to get it?

The tool has only just been released; it's going to be a few weeks before the dust settles.
