Ranting about bad applications

<rant>

I’ve just trying to figure out why my windows XP is running like a dog. I have discovered two alarming things.

  1. Windows Divx codec and player installs a toolbar that seems to appear every 2-3 minutesĀ  in the system tray. After some googling I found that I have to download ToggleToolbar.exe to turn it off. What the f**k ??? Why do I have to download a program to turn off a system tray icon.
  2. Google Desktop. I’ve had a love / hate relationship with google desktop. I love that I can search my machine for emails, documents etc. There are a couple of things that I hate. First, its steals my window focus all the time. I tried uninstalling some widgets but it still does it. And Second it has serious memory leaks. This morning the Desktop grew to 1.7Gb of Virtual Memory. ARRRGGGHHH. So I did as little experiment I close all the widgets and left it running from the toolbar. It grew to 700Mb within about an hour. So, bye bye Google desktop.

A mac is looking more and more inviting everyday…

    Yes… Get a Mac, but wait until the new operating system comes out in October. Who needs Google desktop when you can have Spotlight?
