WinFS is dead was supposed to be a relational filesystem for desktops and
then servers, and since it is no longer included in Vista or being continued
as a stand-alone product, it is dead. Rolling some of the technologies into
the next SQL Server doesn't change that. As someone on Digg said, if they
cancelled Vista and rolled the changes into XP as another service pack, you
wouldn't start calling XP Vista. You would say that Vista is dead and XP was
on SP3.
