As expected, a trio of technologies took the stage at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference Monday, including the long-promised WinFS. This foundation technology promises to unify storage of all data types--relational, nonrelational and multimedia, among others. "We are bringing database technology over the file system. The XML revolution and user interface [advances] are capable of bringing it all together," Microsoft Group Vice President Jim Allchin said during his Monday morning keynote at the conference in Los Angeles.
