The latest blog from Mary Jo Foley over at ZDnet states that Microsoft will be entering the medical records storage business. http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=785
From the article, Peter Neupert, vice president of the Microsoft Health Solutions Group, described HealthVault as "an extension of our (health) search product." "It's a platform — a shred data repository for users to collect, store and access their health information." Neupert and others at Microsoft know that connectivity is only one hurdle players in this market face. Privacy concerns are even more of an issue, especially for Microsoft, which isn't a company many users have come to equate with "trust." Microsft will use Windows Live ID as the secure-authentication mechanism.
I personally would rather store my health care information myself. Will others entrust Miscrosoft with thier medical records?

Thomas O. Barnett, a US Department of Justice assistant attorney general and ex-Microsoft lawyer rejected an anti-trust complaint by Google. The complaint, which contends that Google's desktop search tool is slowed down by Microsoft's competing program, has not been made public by Google or the judge overseeing the Microsoft consent decree, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the Federal District Court in Washington. It is expected to be discussed at a hearing on the decree in front of Judge Kollar-Kotelly this month.
