Review: Is there a website for Microsoft's Sharepoint server? I'm guessing on the Microsoft site. I'll have to check that out! It sounds really interesting. I wonder if it is something you'd have to add to Citrix for a smaller company? Synesis helped me out a bit with that. (I work for a small sized global marketing firm) But anyways, that sounds really interesting.

Review: It is very amusing to read the efforts of different corporations to get better at searching information! I wonder what would happen if Intel invented a chip that could be transplanted into the brain directly. Then people could communicate directly to one another without clicking keyboards or using cell phones while driving. The other day it took me 45 minutes to travel 4 kms in traffic-congested Bangalore. Rather than get flustered I was watching two ladies driving with cell phones attached to their ears! The animated conversation was so intense I feared a car-collision any moment. Innovators wake up! Bangaloreans would be well served by a device that sees, hears, thinks, acts, and frees time for the user to engage in fancy and illusory activities!

Review: Enterprise search is a much different animal than Web search. Microsoft's lack of connectors to third-party systems and general proprietary nature is big hindrance to success. IBM has the most complete search vision that we've evaluated at my company.

Review: Kudos to Microsoft for attempting to get an edge over Google in the corporate search market. From my experience, Google is much more efficient than MSN at getting the search results I need. As much as I like Microsoft for all their good deeds around America, like donating hundred of millions of dollars to inner-city schools, Google has what it takes to control the search market. It's not difficult for a company with hundreds of millions of dollars to develop effective search algorithms. The challenge is in developing custom software for large corporations, and not taking a cookie-cutter approach.

Review: Microsoft is heading in the right direction. The more information one has, the better the decision making--especially since the information identified usually can be traced to individuals who could have a meangingful impact on both the right perspective and reliability of the data.

Review: I think Gates makes a valid point here for the organizations, but has he given a thought to the employess who may misuse the same information?

Review: Seems like Microsoft still doesn't get it. In as much time as Microsoft takes to come up with an idea, announce it, and release it, Google just releases it.

Review: One more time, Microsoft and its big claims. Just a simple desktop search from Windows takes more than five minutes, and Microsoft talks about searching corporate LAN's in how many hours for a simple text search Bill?

Review: Wahwahwah, corporate search, wahwahwah. I can't find my porn files fast enough, or my Lotto numbers, much less that hottie blonde's phone number in the cube down the hall.
