Yeah I guess so too, and personally I won't be crying over dropping Virtuoso 
and Nepomuk anyway...
I think Strigi can do certainly do a good enough job for Enterprise, and I 
would go for it too.

As for KDE-Windows in general, while it would be nice to have an option for 
Strigi or Nepomuk when building with Emerge, 
I think sticking to Strigi for the installer makes sense. I still see a 
potential with using Nepomuk for KDE-Windows in 
the future, as more apps start using it and sharing data. But for now I don't 
think it's worth all the trouble and 
issues that come with it.
