WinFS to be available in WinXP

ScooterMcGoo writes "According to a Microsoft Watch blog, WinFS is being back ported for Windows XP. From TFA: WinFS isn't dead, Tom Rizzo, Microsoft's director of product management for SQL Server, recently told Microsoft Watch. In fact, Microsoft is planning to provide an update on the technology at this year's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in September, he said. Rizzo said that Microsoft is busily back-porting the WinFS file-system technology to Windows XP. It's unclear if Microsoft also is porting WinFS to Windows Server 2003, but such a move would be likely, given that the Redmond software vendor is doing so with Avalon and Indigo."

Why is this so important?

Why would this be a troll? It's a really important question.

I even know when the first beta will come out

Half a year after Apple releases Mac OS X Tiger.

Be Afraid.

if Microsoft wants WinFS to take off and be useful and adopted, then it has to be widely available--work everywhere I want to work with my files (my information)."

WinFS on my USB JumpDrive. Now there's a scary thought!
