Microsoft Gets Into The Search Appliance Business
Microsoft has gotten into the search appliance game, with Microsoft UK unveiling the first Microsoft search appliance. Built on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with SCAN Technologies, its a simple to install, configure and deploy box that adds advanced searching capabilities to corporate systems, installing a SharePoint Server without IT assistance. The orange spider box (due to SCAN’s Orange Spider Search), pictured above, is in contrast to Google “cheese box” search appliance, a business Google is beginning to outsource to Dell.

They still look kind of ugly though. It’s too bad that they don’t throw an aesthetic design into it. Then it would sell like hotcakes.

I agree with Michael. He is of course right about everything. A nice Taupe with accents in blue would be lovely . . . and something on the back to hide all the messy dangly thingies . . . oh yeah - I think they are called cables . . . although if ya can’t get Oprah on it I don’t know why it needs cable!
