[News] Was the Promise of WinFS Just FUD?

That's just one take on the issue...

,----[ Quote ]
| Every comment (bar one) got the point. WinFS is dead. Its carcass is
| being split between SQL Server and ADO.NET, and the relational
| filesystem that was going to change the way we use computers is no
| longer just postponed to be shipped after Vista, it's gone.

| The other irony is that in this chapter, Cringely describes how these
| tactics, while disrupting their competitors, ended up losing IBM
| various segments of the PC market, losing them the respect and trust of
| their customers. Which sort of takes this blog-post full-circle: in the
| absence of an honest voice admitting fault, you're left with the
| immortal words of John Lydon: "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
