Update on all the buzz on deep search tools.  Looks like
Microsoft must feel like the heat is on.  I wonder if Google will
preview its tool soon?  One can only hope. Lookout,
mention in the article, is really cool and extremely fast.  If you
didn't download it by now, unfortunately you're out of luck.  They
have stopped offering the download.  I must have caught it on the
last day (the day Microsoft announced the purchase).  I think it
is likely Lookout is powering this demo.  And given how well it's
been working for me, there's good potential for this new tool. [Yahoo! News - Microsoft Demonstrates New Hard Drive Search Tool](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040730/tc_nm/tech_microsoft_search_dc)SEATTLE
