WinFS' Spot on Back Burner Nothing New

osViews.com writes "Charles Arthur of Independant.co.uk has an interesting editorial which analyzes Microsoft's recently postponed 'WinFS,' the file system that Microsoft had been planning to implement in Longhorn. His editorial reminds us that this technology, previously referred to as the 'NT Object Filing System' was intended for a previous version of one of Microsoft's operating system's code named 'Cairo.' Microsoft first spoke of the 'NT Object Filing System' in 1992 and scheduled a beta release in 1996 and then a full release in 1997. But limitations cause it to continue being delayed."

Maybe the real name of it in internal MS memos is in fact VWFS (VaporWare FileSystem) or will be the next codename for the promised object oriented database mumblejumbo fs for windows 2010.
