Oh dear, it had to happen. When you fall behind with a project, the chasing pack will start snapping at your heels. Microsoft must be feeling the heat now.

Version 2 of Google’s useful Desktop search tool is released today and, yes, it has RSS capability. The Googlers have taken an early lead it seems in the rush to scrap the terms RSS / Atom / XML, on the public face anyway.

Another reason Windows Vista will be cheaper and easier to deploy, says Microsoft, is that deployment tools are included with the operating system. They have been specially designed to be easy to use, with minimal training. The tools include :
