It's for enterprise search as I understand it. See this again (on the same
subject that terrifies Microsoft tremendously):

Modestst proposal to Microsoft corporation:
Sell these oil refineries which Gates invests so heavily in around Africa.
Instead of killing these children in Africa, hire them to build Vista botnets
(it takes just one TCP/IP packet to own Vista, as we discovered just days
ago), then bombard the federal government and attempt to acquire Google when
the FTC ain't watching. Seriously, Microsoft, it might work! As your recent
briberies in Africa shows, nobody will watch or punish you. At worse of
circumstances, run a smear campaign against that $100 laptop guy or that
Jackson guy who suggested splitting you. Failing that, hire some more XML
experts from Australia to modify Wikipedia and display criminal lies about
those who tell the truth. This way, all your enemies will wind up in prison or
be embargoed.
Seriously, Mickysoft, I tell ya...
THIS CAN WORK!!!
