Google Start Button

Google has a new toolbar for Internet Explorer (version 6 beta). What caught my eye after the installation was the taskbar. It installed a Google 'Start' button so that when you press it, a little search box appears in your desktop. The search box is not new, it was included in Google Desktop, and the user is able to open it by pressing the CTRL key twice.

Where do you want to Google today? Google is sure bent on annoying Microsoft. It's not the first time and it will not be the last time.



If you are wondering why the taskbar looks like the old Windows 95 start button, it is because I have disabled themes and a whole bunch of hidden "RAM thieves" from Windows XP SP3.

You can download the Google Toolbar 6 (beta) here.
