When can we expect a public beta to work with?

Wow, I would love to learn more about these past projects. Maybe, once WinFS shipped you or someone else can get clearance to tell that full story?

Also: Yes, PLEASE ship something!!! Especially CTPs. I feel WinFS is the most dramatic of the original Longhorn pillars, by far. You need feedback on what you are doing as early as possible!

M. Sanjay Anaud,

Hello I am an avid develloper mostly scripting for the web. I have been following the progress of WinFS for the past year or so and am as excited as you and the WinFS team.
The visions you have are mine as well but more in terms of applying WinFS capabilities to WebSites. Evidently, even more common than Microsoft Os's, website/pages, are on everybody's displays today and this is our true "common" link. NT/XP is already in most of our common users and these users often visit websites. Thus I am working on implementing WinFS structure to my websites. Now I have not been able to track down much information as most APIs are of the compiled type and thus not practical for fast client side execution.
Jumping to the future visions, imagine a website with let's say a WinFS type search that for our sake just comprises a search of one domain. You type in for instance, Photo, bday, mydaughter, school, posters and you have all of those presented in a WinFS search type format based upon storage type and not limitted by ADO filing system objects etc. Now this becomes possible when MS OSs ship with a STORAGE filing system integrated which knows how to account for all the inforamtion already stored on each machine. You can see where I am going with all of this.....
So when and where can I get a hold of someone/something that can integrate a WinFS store to a scripted webpage. ADO just doesn't do enough for me and how about you.

Great article btw :<]

Richard,

There was a PDC talk on how ADO.Net is evolving to incorporate some the WinFS aspects. If you haven't seen it already, it's worth reading.

Having all these things is nice, but isn’t all that delaying the file store release?

At one point, one day, Windows and Linux will be perfect, since they will just do everything there is to do, and there will be nothing they can’t do.

But until this day comes, all what I want it is NTFS fixed, I needed to put 100,000+ files in a single folder without affecting the Windows performance.

NTFS is slower with every newly added file, and the Windows Explorer is just not designed to handle tons of files in a single folder, whoever wrote that application tested it with 10 files only (explorer.exe)

As a beginning, just give me the chance to drop a folder with a million files instantly, I can drop one million records from a database in just no time (databases have that since ever), but it may take windows days to drop such a folder from the file system.

And then take all the time of the world to develop whatever you are developing right now, but first, please fix the existing NTFS, search, versioning, and speed; I guess the first one is coming, the versioning is just a hack to the file system using shadow copy, and speed ??? who knows

Eric,

Thanks for the heads up and yes I saw all the PDC videos. Actually after having seen Bill Gates at Mix06 I now understand that server-side developpment is to be accomplished by .NET technolgies and thus I better get hot into VB.NET and VC#. Atlas or WinFX is the predecessor to FS in my opinion and in the next 5 years or so the integration of websites with the OS will fuse closer and closer together. Thus we all need to get busy embracing the .NET platform and move into more robust methods of programming.
I like the idea of the internet becoming a type of OS itslef. The future holds great things instore for the IT industry and certain at the development level.

Best Regards,
Richard Rothery

Uhhh hey .. no blog posts for a full month?

This could mean, either the next community drop is right around the corner, or you guys gave up on the idea of WinFS again.

C'mon man - break the suspense.

A full month? Maybe you mean a full 3 months ;) If that is not indication of something big *cough*-beta2-*cough* comming (I hope for WinHEC) then I don't know what can be...
