Posted by Mendel Chuang, Product Marketing Manager: “For the past several months, we’ve been working on ways to let you better get information on your desktop through gadgets and sidebar. We’ve also thought about improving how you search your computer. Today, we are happy to be releasing the Google Desktop 5 beta application. The most prominent changes you’ll notice are to our gadgets and sidebar. Some of the gadgets have been redesigned to provide you with the same useful information but in a more easy to read and visually appealing format. The sidebar has also been changed to blend in even more with your desktop.”
