Kevin, I doubt that X1 can index Live Mail, unless the storage is trivial text file. If L.M. had used text files, Copernic or WDS would have found them, as long as the directories of L.M. were not skipped alltogether... Rolf

can it index MS's new Windows Live Mail ?

I tried Vista Search, XP DTS, Copernic and I am using X1, which, like all good things, is free for personal use :) . Why? It's fast, resource usage is reasonable, can be used for VERY large amounts on data (2 TB+, indexing allmost everything on my machines, i.e. all except other databases (yes, you can exclude efficiently what you do not want); X1 indexes archived files (it could get better at this by indexing more content of archives :sigh: ), Outlook (all except notes, why this?). It's got a pretty good preview for most file types (even for pictures, video, sound, pdf, ...). Why is it not sufficient to use a good organization scheme? Well, I do, but with that much data that's only partially helpful. X1 will find things well even if you're organized :omg: (use the org scheme as filters!). Rolf

Kevin, do you have any evidence that people are sticking to XP because of (lacking??) stability of Vista? I have every reason to believe it's not stability, but good reasons exist to abstain exist indeed: Vista just doesn't handle. The security approach is unbearable for commercial users. Good looks are not everything... and probably do not count when business is concerned. Personally, I do not believe the 40 million copies MS put out are actually in use. Well, maybe some people only need word, excel, email and browser... but that's not an OS, is it? Rolf
