Its a shame that often it takes 'last ditch' desperation for companies to launch their most open technologies. If this is what it looks like then lot of great ideas could be enabled. But one has to wonder how long 'BOSS' will exist for if MS takes over.

MS is all about separating search into verticals, as opposed to Google's one-box-fits-all-queries approach. Live Search is desperate for anything that will attract more queries, so I really doubt they'd kill BOSS.
