basically... it is cool to be dumb and pretend to be smart using a smartphone app.

it has existed for months now.i am not sure when they added voice search capability but it was there few weeks ago when i was testing with the microphone on my webcam. worked great even though a song was playing in the background!

google i believe has just two apps for windows 8. search and chrome. chrome only works in windows 8.

here is the promo page for windows 8 apps from google... they promoted it heavily on google.com around the launch of windows 8 i think.

I uninstalled this on Thursday. Never felt the need to use it really. Whenever I have to search something, I simply open Chrome. I'm sure most people don't use it on a daily basis.

I guess its mainly meant for W8 tablets.

 

[Sushubh]

yes. which is sort of ironical because the original version worked only on windows 8 and did not support ARM devices. right now, it works on both the platforms.
