Vista - New In WinFS

Hello,

Just introducing myself, my name is Jonathan Minond, and I will be trying my
first WinFS Beta 1 Install today, to help with some testing for you guy's.

I will be installing on a laptop with Windows Media Center 2005, so if
anyone knows any issues I should be aware of, please let me know.

On the same PC I have some SQL Server, IIS, VS.NET 2005, .NET 2 and some
other stuff that I use daily.

The system also networks with a bunch of other networks, so I will get a
chance to play around with netwrok talk in winfs as well.

One thing that strikes me immediatly, is how is the sharing if this pc has
winfs, and the other pc does not.... i suppose its trasnparent to the shell.

Hey Jonathan -

WinFS Beta1 is not tested on Windows Media Center edition. We have been
primarily targetting Beta1 as a developer release mostly tested on
XP-SP2-Pro.

If you really want to experiment with this scenario, you may need to write a
sync adapter from the PC with WinFS to the other machine. You will talk SMB
on the other end.

Let us know how it goes...

thanks,
