Why use the Google Deskbar?

I'm not sure that many people use it, but the Google Deskbar is an option for doing searching without opening a browser. It stays resident and offer a mini-viewer for the results. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would use this tool. Right now, if you have the Google Toolbar, you have all the functions of a Deskbar. Launching a mini-viewer is nothing more that a small browser window, so what's the difference?

I think it brings up the issue of progressive stages of software development. When one version of something is started, it is rarely abandoned. It should be in the case of Deskbar. It has been superceded by better tools from Google itself. If anyone even uses Deskbar anymore. I would be surprised, but why doesn't Google give it the boot?

Software can be just like government programs, once they start, they never really end!
