Wow, either I haven't been around enough or Dr.Toker came outta no where after a long hibernation. What's up dude.

Anyways, to answear the question, it is typical MS lack of common sense in predicting the future technologies. GDS has google written all over it. It is simplicity personified and is a beast at that (by beast I don't mean in a MS Exchange kind of way, I mean it is very powerful) . I played with it quite a bit when it was in the beta version. Very cool stuff. One thing that suprised me though, and they may have changed this already since I haven't played with it for awhile, but they didn't archive MSN chat. Which suprised me since it is another simple XML format....yahoo messanger is another story...I'd like to see em do that hehe.
