A more integrated outlook

I'd like to see the different outlook data types exist in the normal file system. It seems that most of the items are just multiple name/value pairs with one actual content payload.Store the attributes in the file system, and let them be visible to the shell. Index server will take care of the indexing. When ever a directory is deemed to have enough of a certain type of item, then the shell will allow an additional view, like the filmstrip view. Each "type" has associated actions, and easy to edit forms....

Next, we add in the remoting support, and the ability to build a complete folder from multiple sources. This is useful for when you get a mix of "buissness" and "personal" data.
