This is /so/ silly. Having the functionality built into the operating
system, or requiring the user to buy SQL Server -- isn't that a slight
change of paradigm? WinFS, as it was planned, could have been such a
catalyst for /great/ interoperative applications. When it's limited to
SQL Server users, the market and the possibilities are so much more limited.
WinFS, as a concept, is dead. I really wished they had at least the
decency to say so. This (quote) "super-excited" announcement of Quentin
Clark's only adds insult to injury.
