Seems like an interesting feature. It’s not easy to see how this is immediately useful; people in this comments section are complaining that this is not a feature they’d pay for, but it looks like something that becomes seriously useful only after years of runtime and terabytes of screenshots. These kinds of things cannot be sold. On the one hand, MS Research seems to have a long history with lifelogging. On the other, MS aren’t capable of implementing decent search in Outlook; I very much doubt their ability to do the same in this more complicated setting. I don’t think Windows has any privacy-conscious users at this point (outside corp contracts where this will be limited), and they generally seem to be doing everything they can to get out of the home market, so the moment is chosen well.
