thats another against Microsoft, anyone know what exactly the patch is by name and MSKB article? They certainly cant get anything right, not to mention if i recall you cant turn off indexing service for the OS which is complete BS.

You can turn it off, in both Vista and XP. I actually completely removed it in XP, using nLite.

Hmm... i see ms desktop search as quite sophisticated program. Sure, it sucks for a few first hours until it finished indexing, but the wait seems worth superb searching experience it provides. IMHO ;)

P.S. especially combined with Outlook

They didn't have to :laugh: that's the whole beauty of this story. I bet this search is introducing and educating users for WinFS ;)
