You have to have IE installed, but then anyone with Windows does. It runs in the taskbar at the bottom.

I went MSN.com and the durned link made it sound like I could only use it in Internet Explorer.

James, was I looking at the wrong thing? Do you have a correct link?

I think there's actually a version of this (Searchlight?) on the new Mac OS as well.

Hmmmm...

I sometimes have major system slowdowns trying to do anything while running a Windows 2000 search, but I can't just sit around and wait, doing nothing.

I wonder if this MSN thing or something very much like it will be integrated into Longhorn...?
