Hi guys, i didnt quite know where to post this one, but im sure here will do.

What do you think about longhorn's new file system, WinFS. Any rumours about it, want to share any info you have on it. Thanks a lot.

thats ntfs which is already in place and has been for a while

the new one windows future storage (winfs) seems to be an older idea that was going to be implemented elsewhere but is now being put to use in Vista.

Winfs seems to run alongside Ntfs rather than replace it, the pair work together.
