It's easy to believe that they are confused today:
They also have an article titled "Microsoft's WinFS Waves Files Goodbye". This implies that with WinFS, the logical data storage unit will no longer be a file, but some other entity.
The article does nothing to confirm the headline. On the other hand it refers to WinFS as the "next generation file system".
A lot of my work revolves around integrating existing systems with Office applications, ie. generating spreadsheets with live financial numbers, generating documents with preinserted addresses etc.
To do this I need to do application integration. The COM-interfaces of Office-applications are (albeit maybe not completely) documented, and they are relatively backwards-compatible. This is where I, a professional, earn my money, and where my customers, real life businesses, benefit from interoperability between systems.
I believe that there are few businesses with more need for social gatherings that the type I'm working in. I'm a consultant, and spend most of my time in the office some client. During the last 4 years, I've seen my company office maybe 40-50 hours in total. Therefore, my company arranges frequent gatherings (monthly meetings with dinners), parties, sports activities etc. so that we will have a social venue where we can get some interaction with our real collegues.
Now, the last year, the frequency of these things have dropped significantly, and the result of that is that we are feeling alienated from our own company, and as a result, more and more people are leaving, also long-timers. What a shame...

Unless you actually try to open a document :)
No.

From another part of this guy's website:
It was made first in java, then i realized how useless java is after you actually write the code
