The thought of MY data being indexed and searchable and then being hosted on an MS platform connected to the net makes me cringe in fear. But then, it is already if you use Windows but it is not indexed so thoroughly by keywords etc etc.... I fear the end is near for Google as we know it. As soon as they go IPO, they then have a fiduciary and legal duty to provide value and profits to shareholders - not to web searchers.
My .0002c worth.

The Longhorn searching thing got me thinking. How many people are actually going to find this kind of search useful on a day-to-day basis?
Some thoughts
1) I want to put my files in a directory, not some hand wavey natural language description - who knows where they might end up?
2) Won't a DB as a filesystem promote less organisation in the directory structure?
3) Will having a searchable DB actually decrease the amount of information you need to remember to get your data?
Well organised directories are going to beat this system anything, IMHO. However - I can see how a google would be nice for my corporate net. But I don't see that this is an essential feature for the average home user. Thoughts?
