I personally find Windows Desktop better to use. I've used Google Desktop before, and it just really slowed my computer down. Really. I don't know why, but just having Google Desktop is kinda slow.
I don't agree about the review saying Win Search was slower. At first, it did seem a few seconds too long.
But I used it a bit more, and when you click enter, results come up about a second (or split-second) later. That's what I noticed. If you use Vista, the desktop search included actually does dynamic instant search. As in, type a few letter and get results right away. WMP 11 does this neat thing as well.
And if you don't want it taking up the taskbar : Right-click taskbar > Toolbars > Uncheck "Windows Search Deskbar"
Easy as 1-2-3. I didn't like it taking space on the taskbar either.
So I like WDS. It's a bit slow initially, but it becomes faster in no time. And it indexes easily across a lot of stuff.
Maybe it would be a mean thing to say this, but Google has "had a history" of indexing your info., and sending it to their advertisers (and possibly the CIA - check http://masterplanthemovie.com/ ) so they could use this to their advantage. Do you really trust Google right on your computer?
