Inside Google Desktop

Looks like Google is listening! Inside Google Desktop talks about some of the improvements in their Google Desktop tool. Most importantly, they have made major changes in the way plug-ins are developed:

if you’re a sidebar plug-in developer, good news: we’ve heard you. And we’ve added support for script plug-ins. We even provided you with an automatic plug-in installer. Just use your favorite scripting language (such as JavaScript or VBScript) and start implementing and deploying cool plug-ins faster than ever.

For more information on developing plugins check out the plug-in samples and the Developer Guide.
