Um, no, no, no...you've misunderstood completely ;-) They've actually "recreated" BeOS's BFS and live queries. Well, they hired Domonic Giampaolo - the guy who wrote the BFS used in BeOS PR onwards - so it wasn't probably all that hard a decision... ;-) You have to understand, live queries are not some kludgy file sniffing process... they use automagically created indices (user definable if they followed Be on this one) which *never* need to be explicitly indexed. It's basically like a database built into your filesystem. Live queries mean that as you add/delete/move files, the query result is updated on the fly... If you want more info, OSNews.com has an article on the event, which briefly delves into BeOS and live queries...
