Yes; it's especially good under Firefox (and the 2.0 beta in
particular). It's too bad that it's gotten to be such a pain to get
emacs-style editing keys in recent version of Firefox...

Dunno about Google Desktop.

I have actually bought stuff based on their targeted advertising, and
I'm a curmudgeon that way. AOL has just started to offer 5 GB of file
storage space to anybody with an AOL user name (and I think they're
giving those out for free now), which tells me that Google will match
and improve on this offer.  Outside of things that don't make sense to
have on a (very) remote central server (media files and big data files
come to mind), I'm amazed at how relatively small most of the stuff I
care about has gotten.  So I, myself, welcome our Google overlords if
they decide to host all my punky non-crucial data.
