All PDC roads lead to WinFS
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
SQL Server expert Randy Holloway offers up some hints on where Microsoft's going with its next-generation file system. The Windows File System (WinFS) is key to two of Microsoft's biggest next-gen products in the pipeline: Longhorn and Yukon.
While Microsoft released Yukon Beta 1 to testers in July, there have been few analyses of the WinFS-specific portion of it by folks who have actually played with Yukon. So we decided to call on Yukon expert Randy Holloway to get the inside, pre-PDC scoop on WinFS. Holloway is the coauthor - with Andrej Kyselica of an upcoming book "Developing Solutions with Yukon: Beyond Transact-SQL" (Addison Wesley) - on the ins and outs of Yukon. He also is a prolific blogger who writes about Yukon and the Common Language Runtime.
