Is WinFS Dead?
weservernew.com
WinFS, the new File System that we have been hearing about for years, also known in the past as Cairo, looks like it's been axed. It seems to have become somewhat of an dead weight and it was not clear what to do with it. WinFS was pulled out of Vista a long time ago and BillG's pet project has been rudderless ever since.
We can only assume Ray Ozzie bit the bullet and nixed it. WinFS has always had a positioning problem. It was hard to define, and was described alternatively as "rich storage", and "packaging technology".
Redmond has not publicly announced the funeral, but one of their bloggers said they will not be "pursuing a separate delivery of WinFS, including the previously planned Beta 2 release". Parts of it will be lumped into future SQL and ADO.NET versions. Oh well. Bye Bye!
