No its definitely not Windows.
Computers are good at burying information. If at any point later on you need to access data within a document from a mass of documents in an archive the problem is WHICH DOCUMENT.
Paper allows you to flick through. Windows and Adobe require each individual document to be opened onscreen before you can check the contents. Hence the need for something that will search for text within a batch of files without you opening each file individualy for a manual search.

I'm not aware of Adobe being able to search a batch of closed document files for text. If it could that would definitely be the way to go but I think when people say they are putting their paper documents into Adobe format most of them probably mean they are straight scanning docs in which will produce a non-machine searchable photocopy of the paper doc. Thoss are REALLY hard to search.
