I also use Gmail (of course?) and Picasa. I haven't used any of the previously mentioned -- maybe they should stop working on them so they can give me more features in the products I use. haha :D Wait, I actually installed Google Bookmarks because I wanted a spellchecker, but I hated the fact that I couldn't get rid of the search box -- I only want the spellchecker; time to find an add-on for IE7 (the only browser supported at my business).

To bad Yahoo doesn't follow more of the tactics. Google Checkout is great just to bad they don't use monthly subscription, it would be much better if they could do monthly subscriptions. http://www.PassportMentors.com Great features from Google.

Between computers at work, home and a laptop it is just nice to have everything there just as I left it. It might slow things down a little but it is worth it. As for the rest of the list you are right on the money. Google Brower Sync has saved me hours of work.

True, Orkut is rather dead looking in the United States, but it's huge in other countries, especially in India and other technologically developing nations. While Google Checkout certainly isn't any kind of 'Paypal Killer', I have used it for many purchases and haven't experienced any delays or problems with it. I do use Paypal more and wouldn't miss Google Checkout much if it went away, but I have nothing against it. Thanks for speaking out though. I'm glad someone else has the courage to reveal Google Desktop for the piece of worthless software that it is. I would agree with most of those, but then again I would disagree with a few things:

Delicious is more than just a bookmarking tool, it’s also a discovery place. Just check out popular/hotlist sections, I am sure you’ll find it interesting.

I never found it slow, maybe it’s only an issue with IE 7.
