Now Windows Search 4.0 is out. How does it compare to the likes of others, such as Copernic and such?

'Coz M$ is now touting that Windows Search 4.0 can even perform a search on another networked PC.

Wow - 2xExplorer could do that 12 years ago. ;)

It's a M$ piece of code so it can not ever be better than a Dedicated Search Utility.

Just my 2 cents worth though. When Free it's OK but if I had to pay for it I wouldn't buy it and I think M$ understands that.

On 2 of the 5 test rigs I have it installed on it takes over 50% of the Task Bar so for now I'm no lover of it.
