From a president of a Microsoft partner: Don't worry, be still believe you. The people that make demeaning comments like the one you linked don't seem to understand the software development process, especially one as big as Longhorn and WinFS, or ignore what they have learned to post something bordering on trolling.

Thanks guys. It did feel a bit like a troll, but it's a legitimate point. And every time I see in my referral logs that someone hit that April post after searching for "winfs" (it shows as the 4th result on Google right now,) I cringe a little.

Hey, even as a die hard Mac user, I can't find it in my heart to be critical over this. We all get our hopes up from time to time, and we occasionally get ahead of ourselves.

WinFS is an admittedly cool technology. Now's just not its time, but it'll come eventually, even if by a different name or a different route.

I'd love to hear how winFS is coming along. its been such a long time and its still something that i'm excited about. the end user in me is really looking forward to versioning support (which i only noticed was part of winFS a short time ago)

Hopefully you guys are making good progress. Maybe we can hope to see a technical preview of winFS for longhorn, like we have for avalon and (soon to come) indigo on XP .. that would be very useful
