I really really HATE the fact that I HAVE to install Windows Desktop Search
when I install Outlook 2007. I hate it so much that it's enough reason for me
to not want to buy 2007 and use Outlook Express if I have to. I want Oulook
to search and organize my mail, Outlook has no business search my hard drive.
Outlook is for mail, other software is for my hard drive. I feel a lot of
resentment towards the forced installation of Windows Desktop Search when you
install Outlook.
