In fact, just like you can do in Outlook 2007 aggregating feeds and
search thorugh them with Windows Desktop Search...



When I read your database diss, I immediately thought of SIM products and
how databases [handi]cap performance and storage of log data and offer only
limited emulation of logic engines because it's all gotta work out to some
SELECT statement on the back end.  Then I remembered the logs are dumb (log
analysis is not dumb, but log content is) and hardware is cheap.


That is in fact another traditional use. I also thought he could have
been referring to that....
Of course loganalysis  could get *MUCH* better, but so far that's what
we have...

Best,

Daniele
