Sorry, I should have specified on my home PC. I don't know if it works
with Vantage.

Hi Bruce,
Did you have any problems getting Vantage to install? I understand that
the
normal client install does not work with Vista. How did you install
Vantage
if this is true?
Thanks

I have been using Vista for 3 days, and am already extremely impressed
with the search capability, scheduled defragmentation, and many other
aspects. Even though, I am coming from an IT perspective, I really like
the prettiness too. The one tragic downside so far has been application
compatibility. As soon as all the application vendors are on board,
this will prove to be the best yet.

I have been using WDS for about the same amount of time.
Between that and Windows defender, I can't really justify any haste
toward Vista.
Us IT folk are more impressed with utility than we are pretty.

I thought I would share this review of Windows Desktop Search WDS with
the group.
WDS will be part of Microsoft Vista which you can download and run on
XP.
This is a great opportunity to experience one of the top features of
Vista before actually purchasing it.

I have been running it for 6 weeks now and it is very impressive.
I also downloaded the Network Scanning install.
You select the folders to on your PC and network servers to search.
You then let it build the index. If you select a lot of files it may
take several hours to build so just let it run over night.
You can also search Outlook folders if you run Outlook in cached mode
and also Outlook Public folders if you add the public folders to your
Favorites. This just stores your items locally for WDS to search thru.
Anyway WDS is Indexing about 40,000 files for me which I can search thru
instantly.
I would Highly recommend everyone in the IT world download and test this
ability.
Practical Application: Does your company store PDF files, email,
spreadsheets and word documents on servers, client pc's and exchange
servers. WDS will let you data mine all this stuff.
For example searched using WDS for on IP address on my network and it
found my notes from working on that PC, print outs of backup copies of
my Cisco pix firewall where this number was referenced, it found a
spreadsheet where I keep a listing of IP address assignments, WDS found
email and replies where I mentioned this IP address etc..... It was
definitely an eye opener.
If I was a company selling any type of Document Archiving or Storing
Software I would be scared because this is now free an part of Vista.
Have Fun.
