Thank you.
Hi Peter,
The differences are primarly around consumer versus business use.
X1 Desktop Edition is designed for professional use. It allows you to index and search network file stores and multiple PSTs. It also supports Outlook Express, Eudora and Thunderbird. Beyond the features, you receive a year of upgrades and standard support.
Moving forward, more differences will be built into the products. Yahoo Desktop Search will include features that are directly related to Yahoo content and sites. X1 Desktop Edition will continue to expand business class features.
You can, of course, give both versions a test run. We encourage you to do so. Since they use the same code base, you can only try one at a time, however.
