I believe that the spotlight facility of MacOS, and the somewhat similar Longhorn feature (think Google desktop search/indexing on steroids) qualify as killer-apps. I am concerned about how to do better with our implementations across a distributed (NFS, CIFS etc.) network. And of course coalescing async notifications most efficiently is a fascinating and difficult area to do right - for servers at least.
