I'm disappointed with the lack of 64 bit support for Google Desktop -
which has already been well commented upon by a great many people.
Forcing a 32 bit install is not a solution, and I have reason to
suspect that attempting it caused my 'ascended' quad-core Acer Apsire
M5201 to die a horrible death.
But, I'm even more frustrated at the organisations seeming lack of
direction on the subject. Google as an entity appears as a corporate
lummox, deaf to the chirping pleas of insignificant would-be users who
have to their woe become addicted to their brand.
Communicate damn it. State a frame-work for progress. I honestly feel
like taking some old skool motivation techniques out on you guys.
Thanks for your enthusiasm. I've stated multiple times that 64-bit
compatibility is in the works for a future edition of Google Desktop.
I think the primary frustration originates from the lack of a timeline
or expected release date.
As a Google-wide policy, we do not pre-announce timelines, releases,
nor features; and this is the existing case.
When I have new information to share with you all, I definitely will.
This group normally receives the fresh-off-the-press release
announcements and updates.
In the meanwhile, please hold tight and stay tuned. Thanks again for
your interest in Google Desktop!

Glad to hear it's working! Just to close the loop on this thread;
we've officially launched 5.9, and it's available from the Google
Desktop homepage:
