The article states "that it is difficult to impossible for a third party search tool to replace the default search capability." This means that when you ran Google search on your machine, Vista Search was also running, causing your resources to be "hogged". If Vista Search cannot be disabled or removed, then Google's product could never be used on a Vista machine. Microsoft is effectively shutting out any competition. Microsoft should add the ability to use a Non-Microsoft local search tool, just like they do now with the "Set Program Access and Defaults" tool allowing you to use 3rd party tools for your web browser, email program, media player, instant messaging program and virtual machine for Java. @Robert Andrade,

I normally use the Google Toolbar for IE and normally agree with Google being the best internet search engine however when one realizes that Google Desktop Search is MORE of a resource hog even on WinXP then Windows version one has to question the motivation behind Googles whining and complaining. I have run both Vista Search and Google search on my machine and have noticed that google is still a resource hog. Get off it Google.
