Longhorn Drops WinFS Support
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 03:00 AM
"Microsoft's drive to Longhorn took an unexpected turn this week as the company strives to meet its deadline for the ambitious Windows revision. The company on Friday announced a new road map for Longhorn. The changes--removing some features, including the WinFS storage system, and altering others--are designed to let Microsoft have a test version of the software next year and a final release for desktops and notebooks by 2006. A server release is planned for 2007."
Well that sucks. :? I was looking forward to WinFS specifically for it's enhanced ability to catalog media files, and I was hoping it would be network friendly, finally allowing me to have a decent experience with Windows Media Player and media in more than one location. Maybe by 2007...? :roll: There's an interesting interview with Bill Gates that's worth reading - the decision makes more sense after I read it.
