Yeah, just what we need, a content-aware file system, NOT. < slaps forehead >
But don't worry, they'll still leave in all the partially-complete bits of code that were supposed to do that stuff. Wouldn't want anyone afraid of getting an efficient OS when bloatware could be gotten!
What is the point of releasing Vista without including WinFS (other than as a lame duck marketing strategy) if that was to be the main feature of the new software? My guess is that there are persisiting major issues with WinFS (which is why the technologies were split to begin with 2 years ago) that cannot be resolved in the near future. To save face Microsoft does not want to further delay Vista's release. Hope this doesn't turn out like the Windows ME fiasco.
I'm still waiting to here the rationale for switching to Vista. I know I will get those pretty transparent windows (which I don't like and won't use) but what else is there that will actually benefit me?
