Symantec had already bought Brightmail, so Microsoft were too late there. Besides, the Frontbridge acquisition was made by the Exchange business specifically, who on some level are competing with Hotmail. And finally, it’s clear the Exchange team were looking for a managed service / hosted solution, whereas Brightmail is a gateway solution. But having said all of that, I don’t disagree that goog were driven by archiving and compliance; I’m just less sure about Microsoft.

For further evidence of the fact that this is about archiving, not anti-spam, examine why Microsoft bought FrontBridge and not Brightmail, which provides Hotmail’s Anti-Spam capability (or at least used to).
