Being one of the 39.51% who loves my XP, I recently deleted Google junk from my desktop when I came to the realization it was responsible for numerous BSODs each day, determined via the Event Viewer.
Only Google item remaining on my system is Google Earth. But I've disabled Google Update, which was also creating numerous errors.
So now using Firefox because IE8 doesn't play well with facebook groups since facebook changed their photo uploader.
"Clouds" aren't an option for those of us who live in the bush with limited bandwidth available, and what we do have is costly. Uploading anything is tediously slow, downloading a bit quicker but still slow compared to service South of 60. :B
