Well, here's the real deal of what we can expect from this future (still RC) technology:
presenting Tafiti - a new interface for Microsoft Live Search.
The name means "search" in Swahili (insert your eye roll here).
The interface allows searching web, images, feeds, news and books. It keeps your earlier searches (represented as a stack of papers on the left side) and allows you to save links you've liked on shelves on the right, and tag them.
[click images to enlarge]Another interesting view of the search results is the Tree View, which shows you, er, a tree, with all your search results and how they are connected. The tree can be minimized, maximized, rotated and made full screen. Very nice, although not that useful to me. But gives you an idea of what will the next generation search engines would look like...

PPS: Be careful! Tafity (with a Y at the end) is an ad/spyware site! Found it out the hard way after typing it in. Remember Tafiti ends with an I.
