I've been using Google Desktop since it first came out in a beta version a while back. It's great for finding files that you've long forgotten the names of but suddenly have a need to locate.

It's not perfect. I've gone in search of an item on more than one occasion only to come up empty. But it seems to be better than any of the alternatives.

I didn’t realize it, but Google Desktop has not been available to Mac users, a few of whom are friends of mine.

Well, Google has finally released a version for my Mac buddies.

You can learn more about it, as well as see what Mac-devotees have to say about, by visiting this article at Search Engine Land.

I think this is yet another example of Google staying ahead of the game, and offering products and services to as many Internet users as possible, thereby creating and maintaining a loyal customer base.

Is it any wonder Google stays ahead of all the other search engines when it comes to innovation and keeping customoers?
