Looks a lot like...widgets+google-indexing of your files, search results within it are displayed like google results, with snippets

I think that Google Desktop has been around for two or three years. |

Yeah, it has been around for a while. I think I tried it out a year or two ago and didn't like it because it was too bloated. I prefer Copernic Desktop Search so I could do away with the widgets that cause the bloating.

To me it's synonymous with that fucking search box in the taskbar. No thanks.

I guess I don't see the point of wasting precious taskbar space since I have a web browser open constantly anyway. Also, that damn thing has snuck past me and installed itself on several occassions, which never sits well with me.
