Why?

Granted, their market penetration is pretty significant already, but I
meant it more to be illustrative.  On the other hand, a one-click
desktop alias for google preempts another search engine doing the same
thing.  Either way, it's likely to show up as "Web Search" or
something similar.

I have just purchased a Dell laptop, now dual booting debain of course, and it already has Google Desktop preinstalled. So maybe they are one step ahead :).
