My SmartFolders organizes your files, web links and Outlook items, grouping them based on their relationships. The basic concept is that you attach tags to your files, web sites and Outlook items and then they appear in your SmartFolders according those tags. It’s a simple concept, yet it’s very powerful. You can apply this concept to any aspect of your work, for any business and for any kind of data that you store on your computer or over the network.

    Perhaps you missed the news, that was about the very first feature to be officaly droped from vista, before m$ dropped the project entirely. RIP WinFS.

    This is a concept which has to be implemented deep at the OS-level to be powerful enough to be useful. And indeed, Windows Vista will have that. So thanks, but I think I'll pass.

    A very interesting concept and quite well executed.
    I must admit that I would find little use for it though to be honest.
    I prefered the method that BlinX used (as the seem to have stopped doing smart folders now) where you had a folder that had a search term and was populated shortcuts to files that matched that term.
    Keep it up though, this has a lot of potential.
