No Google Desktop Search for Mac?

Tim O'Reilly, open source advocate and founder of O'Reilly Media, has disputed a report by Reuters stating that Google plans to bring its Desktop Search utility to Apple's Mac OS X. O'Reilly -- who asked Google CEO Eric Schmidt whether not to expect a Mac version during a conference at UCLA -- said in a posting to Ars Technica that Schmidt only explained it was a hard problem due to operating system differences. "He made no announcement of actual plans to deliver the product, or even that Google was actively working on it," said O'Reilly.
