Microsoft may have a keen interest in search, but its next-generation Windows operating system looks to be more of a threat to super-organized executive assistants than to Google.
Although the software maker has been steadily investing in search, its upcoming operating system, code-named Longhorn, is taking a new tack when it comes to helping users locate desktop files.
In Longhorn, Microsoft is "moving away from search" and concentrating on how people organize and find documents, says Brad Goldberg, general manager of Windows Client Business Group.
