Hello!

"Looking at Fiji and Vienna"
http://jameskyton.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/beyond-windows-vista-fiji-and-vienna/

"Vista R2?, codename "Fiji"
[quote]
WinFS will be applied over NTFS to give us
Virtual Folders (or maybe just Saved Searches)
[/quote]

Windows "Vienna" (formerly "Blackcomb")
[quote]
WinFS (or its sucessor) will replace NTFS.
No more drives, or files/folders location to
worry about. File Management will be done
through applications, which will automaticlly
index and sort the files they support.
[/quote]

Cheers, Roman

Someone from TechEd said that OR Mapping will be done through the ADO.NET
Entity Framework in a future version of ADO.NET. The original idea of WinFS
is dead. Maybe they put the index of the desktop search in the sql server. I
think this is a really big disadvantage and overall it's a shame that after
years of development Microsoft will release something that other products
have allready provided for years (OR Mapping). I really woul know why they
think that the original idea of WinFS is not possible to realise. What have
they done alle the years?
