Google has rolled out a beta version of its desktop software, adding such features as “Sidebar,” which offers a personalized panel of information such as e-mail, stock quotes and news. The software includes a scratch pad-style tool for taking notes and tools for searching one’s desktop and Microsoft Outlook inbox. Called Desktop 2, the software can be downloaded for free from Google’s Web site.
