> I am assuming Xobni offers a lot more than simply search right? If it's only search... what's there to stop Microsoft from building a better built-in search tool for Outlook? I often hear great things about Xobni, but I never got to try it due to I use a Mac. So could someone enlighten me on what else do they offer? Because it seems search is only feature I hear about...
I can't remember the name of the company, but there was another company that created a better search for Outlook, Microsoft bought them out, made the better search crappy again.
So my guess is that Microsoft has no incentive to make search good on desktops. Maybe in the future they'll buy out Xobni and then destroy their product so that Outlook search stays crappy.

Question to Frocer: why delete your post?
- sho 17y agoI deleted my post because I thought it came across overly negative. I don't want to discourage people or sound like some grumpy douchebag. It's true I have my doubts about the market segment, but don't want to just pour cynicism on everything I see. So I deleted my post, too late! By the way, Aerons are not the default chair at most companies , and I doubt Outlook costs $300 per seat. Search does suck though; I just didn't think it sucked enough to make it worth the bother. The founder says he's had 2 million downloads, though, so what do I know.
