A collection of nice quotes from the weeks news around MSS:

Microsoft Unveils Free Enterprise Search: "Information workers waste as much as 9.5 hours each week on searches that don't turn up the right information, which can add up to millions of dollars in lost productivity every year," said Rob Gray, Microsoft's UK SharePoint product manager, on Tuesday. "We believe there is a core set of enterprise search features that every business should have, and we're delivering them for free in Search Server 2008 Express."

 

Microsoft Expands Enterprise Search Offering, Introduces Search Server 2008 Express: "Our research shows that time wasted searching equals money lost for businesses that haven't provided effective search," said Sue Feldman, vice president for Search and Digital Marketplace Technologies, IDC. "This year, with products like Search Server Express, cost is no longer an issue for companies that may have thought such a solution was either too complex, or too expensive."

Many great quotes coming out - I remember a cracking one from my friend Mike Davis over at Ovum but I have to admit to loosing the source - does anyone have it?
