Looking at Microsoft Enterprise Search approach

Back in May Microsoft has published their approach to enterprise search here

Quite interesting is that all enterprise search is going to be centered in Sharepoint 2007 with ADO.NET adapters to all data in the enterprise.

They also introduced a paradigm of using social network in knowledge search within enterprise, so called "Knowledge Network for Office SharePoint Server 2007"

The paper poses three major differentiators between web and enterprise search:
1. Link structure
2. Hierarchy across sites
3. Security

And still it does not answer the question of finding an analogue of PageRank for enterprise.

Could it be achieved by indexing mails and IMs of the colleagues with some bayesian algorithm and counting quotes of indexed data sources as PageRank?
