Hi Richard,

There are no plans for Vista Beta2 to ship *with* WinFS pre-installed. That
being said, WinFS Beta 2 will have some level of support on select Vista
Client SKU's - we are still ironing out the details. As for Vista RTM, we
are considering several options for how WinFS will be made available to end
users.

Thanks,
Andy Lam [MSFT]
