Hi,

I can see the benefits from a couple of points

Firstly, for remote device sync or even outlook sync it would be nice to
only have to sync a relevant, small subset of contacts for an individual,
especially in a company with a very large contacts list - rather then
syncing the whole global list.

Secondly, for an individual who only uses a small subset of the global
contacts - it would be a time saver to click "Contacts" and have only 20 or
30 contacts appear instead of 1000 contacts listed and then have to search
for it - but that is more of a personal "browse vs search" thing I suppose.
(for the "searchers" amongst us it is easier simply to leave everything in
one pile and use search to get the relevant contacts)

Having said that, I probably shouldn't speak on Jeff's behalf :)
