i've seen a lot of feedback on the net lately on winFS (the new filesystem MS are going to use in their next version of windows, codenamed longhorn.)
Longhorn will include a database-like file system called Windows Future Storage (WinFS), which is based on technology from SQL Server 2003 (code-named Yukon). This file system will abstract physical file locations from the user and allow for the sorts of complex data searching that are impossible today. For example, today, your email messages, contacts, Word documents, and music files are all completely separate. That won't be the case in Longhorn. i was wondering if there's any intention to try and implement something similar in linux, and if there are any advantages to this technology that justifies the effort. I'd like to review this issue in whatsup.org.il, and your thoughts\comments\opinions are highly welcomed here. good thing ? bad thing ? fire away.... -- ====================================== Amir Tal Founder, Owner Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal Voice: +972-8-9363164 Fax: +972-8-9363164 Cell: +972-58-978979 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: www.whatsup.org.il ICQ : 15748705 ====================================== ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
