Given that Windows Vista and the soon to be released Windows 7 have native support for gadgets, I'm wondering what is the future for Google Desktop.
Like many people, I held on tightly to Windows XP (no native gadget or desktop search support) and shunned Vista. But I've been using Windows 7 for a little while now and have to admit that, like many other reviewers out there, I actually kind of like it. I can see people adopting Win7 in ways they never did with Vista. Windows 7 also has decent desktop search so I'm wondering about the future of Google on the desktop. I'd like to hear from someone at Google about the future direction for this product. I've written 2 gadgets so far because they were things I wanted myself and I didn't have any other options other than Google as an XP user. But when Win7 gains users as I'm pretty sure it will, will anyone bother to download Google desktop? As a related question, I'm wondering if Google would consider porting it's own gadgets like the extremely excellent Calendar gadget to Windows. That might be the best of both worlds.
