Whatever WinFS may have been, and that would depend which sources you were listeningt to, is not shipping as a feature in any OS they are willing to commit to, except maybe Cairo. What was WinFS supposed to be anyway? A search engine to kill Google Desktop, WIndows Desktop Search (formerly Apple Spotlight) or a new way to add metatags onto any object within the filesystem? Did anyone here have plans to use it? Killer apps to take advantage of it? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com =============================== Good questions, Ted. The answers are Yes and No, depending on who you talk to. I think if M$ knew the answers, we would be that much closer to having WinFS in our hands.
