After all WinFS is not the first (or second or...) attempt Microsoft has made at a relational file system. After more dust settles, though, I still believe it's worthwhile to digest what occurred, why it happened, what the net net is, and how we can all learn from the exercise. The group behind the "package previously known as WinFS" hasn't disappeared, and they're a bright bunch. Stay tuned... Your frustration is reasonable, Alex.

What with the recent developments huh! I wonder if MS have given up on the relational file system completely or whether they have just decided to bite the bullet and admit defeat publicly while continuing with less pressure of delivery attached, by publically announcing nothing... Only time will tell. Alex Seems a little pointless now! What with the recent developments huh!

I did check out your site and given Base4.NET's raison d'être, your interest in WinFS is crystal clear. I encourage you to engage with the WinFS team, especially given your related domain experience. Cheers, Craig Glad to be of help to you, Alex.
