INTERNET search giant Google has unveiled a new desktop program that allows users to search the web as well as their own computer files in a move analysts said could be a challenge to Microsoft.
Google said a test version of its Desktop Search application was being offered for free download. The software will run on Windows XP or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 only.
"Google Desktop Search brings the power of Google to your personal information on your own computer. As easily as searching Google, you can instantly search your files, local email, the web pages you have seen, and more," Google co-founder Larry Page said.
"It's free, installs quickly, and keeps completely up to date. Google Desktop Search represents a quantum leap in access to your own information."
Jupiter Research analyst Joe Wilcox said the move by Google could be a threat to Microsoft by making the Windows platform and browser less needed.
