Hello, The latest rumor coming out of Microsoft is that Avalon will get dropped or end up just as an optional addon from Windows 2007 (aka Longhorn).
Darryl K. Taft writes in the eweek story titled "Longhorn Changes May Affect Microsoft's Tools Strategy": The internal word is that "Avalon could end up like WinFS if it misses its milestone. They're laying the groundwork for [Avalon] to be shipped later, as a separate component." Asked whether Avalon will be cut from Longhorn, Somasegar replied: "We absolutely thought about that. There are three endpoints to the triangle. You've got features, you've got quality, and you've got time to market. There's a balance that you need to strike between those three things."
