Google Desktop 4 beta is now available. One of the new features of Desktop 4 are the "Google Gadgets." Like Yahoo's widgets, Google Gadgets let you personalize your desktop with mini-applications that deliver personalized content like games, media players, weather and news. Google Desktop can also recommend new gadgets and can automatically create a personalized homepage based on what you frequently search and access.
Other features of Google Desktop include:
- The ability to access Google Gadget content and settings from other computers and protect it from computer crashes by saving it online.
- Add favorite gadgets from your personalized Google homepage right onto their desktops.
- Easily access other Google services from your desktop. For example, you can access your Google Calendar directly on the desktop.
- Manually re-index your computers or remove deleted files from search results.
- Also, network admins can disable "Search Across Computers" on both the consumer and enterprise versions of the product at the network level by simply blocking access to a specific URL.
