Tom's Hardware Looks At WinFS
Alizarin Erythrosin writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has an article about the new WinFS file system. The article talks first about some of the problems and advantages with FAT[16|32] and NTFS, then talks briefly about WinFS. Here is the summary: 'Microsoft is breaking new ground with Longhorn, successor to XP. The upcoming WinFS file system will be the first to be context-dependent, and promises to make long search times and wasted memory a thing of the past. Today, THG compares it to FAT and NTFS.' Personally, I still have reservations about using a relational database to keep track of files. Unless they can keep the overhead to a minimum, I can't see it being as efficient as a file system should be."
First Post!! Har har
whoa.
Frist psot, d00dz!
I know. I have no life.
This probably won't even get to the first spot. More like 5th.

You just got the holy grail of moderation. +5 Troll. Wow. This is the only one that I've actually seen with my own eyes.
So WinFS (Windows File System) Is actually Called WinFS FS (Windows Future Storage File System) Microsoft Does it again... didn't they have an internal debate about what CE and XP and NTFS actually meant?
. . . that frothy mix of shit and lube after your boyfriend gets done reaming your asshole . . .
Did you know that stuff has a name? it's santorum! No kidding! Funny, eh?
To pull this back OT: the above-referenced article at THG has exactly as much new information on WinFS as the horrid post to which this is a reply.
Good day sir.
I said good day!
everything in moderation
how does a post recieve a rating of (Score:5, Troll), am I missing something?
Its a little-known fact but every troll yearns for that score. Its like hitting a grand-slam in baseball or getting a royal flush in poker. So many things have to line up for it to happen that its quite rare.
I, Egg Troll, salute you, good sir!
Lovely Slashcode. Mod the comment up to +5 (however you choose). Then mod it down by 1, for +4, Troll. Then mod it up again with Underrated (which doesn't get tagged). Suddenly you have a +5, Troll comment. Whee!
Score 5, Troll
That says it all. lol
Your spelling is a joke, right?
I get it.
What is Slashdot coming to!?
A score of 5, troll? He won!
(Score:5, Troll)
Can I be your new friend? You realized what I always wanted to realize !
I never fail to be baffled at the degree of inertia in the IT world. I sometimes thing every computer person thinks technology should be frozen at whatever point they got tired of learning new stuff. "File name extensions and symbolic links were good enough for me lad!" It's a weird attitude.
:(
If I had modpoints I'd mod that up!
