So far, so good. not working too badly. what i want is a network version of this!
Can't really see any gains out of it. So far saved myself 1.2 mins over 24 hours using it, yet it feels as though it takes longer the first time you go to a page with it.
It must not be taking off the lost time whilst it builds up it's profile. So probably cost me 20 minutes yesterday.
But yes MS should get moving on Longhorn otherwise they are screwed!!!
And for god sakes update Mappoint, Google maps is wiping the floor with it.
Installed it, it seems to be confusing some web sites (e.g. Pearson VUE) with its implementation of cookies, I sends me back to the previous page and says you don't have anything in your shopping basket...
One of my concerns in regards to Microsoft's policies is that it wants to be the superior in every area, and that sucks money and resources. I believe that Microsoft should focus on its competetive advantage (that is, OS, development environments, Office, Enterprise Servers). To be honest, I think Microsoft's investment on MSN Search has been a waste of time and money. Even within Microsoft most people use google to perform a search.
But the fact that I am using gmail and google's search doesn't mean that I am planning not to use Windows, Office, SQL Server or VS.NET.
Microsoft could have spend that budget and time on Whidbey, Yukon and Longhorn instead. If they start being distracted to developing gadgets, then they will be vulnerable in their core areas like OS and Servers since they have many competitors.
The damn thing breaks NTLM authentication. That's unacceptably nasty. Someone at Google needs to get smacked.
Also appears to ignore any entries in your local hosts file.
I'm not sure I want Google being my proxy server and knowing every page I surf to. I'm not saying I have anything to hide, but come on. The information they can gain through this "spyware" they can make a mint off of selling to advertisers.
I really wish to use Google Web Accelerator but I do not know how to get it.
