New file system has long road to Windows
Microsoft's long-awaited new Windows file system is still a work in progress.

Microsoft's long-held dream of a new file system continues to be a years-off proposition. WinFS is not part of Longhorn and may not be possible even in the next update after that.
Although Microsoft hopes to ship a test version of WinFS in late 2006, it could be several more years before the revamped storage mechanism finds its way into Windows Server.
The software maker has already decided that WinFS will ship separately from Longhorn, the new desktop version of Windows that is due in 2006. It is not even clear if Microsoft will include it with the Longhorn update that is scheduled to follow a couple of years later.
Instead, WinFS may not debut in the operating system until the next decade, when the version of Windows beyond Longhorn, code-named Blackcomb, is slated to ship.
When it removed WinFS from Longhorn earlier this year, Microsoft said it would offer developers a beta version of the file system at the same time as Longhorn, but separate from the new OS.

Post - Longhorn Version of Windows OS. It was to be shipped in 2005 but Microsoft delayed it to 2010 or 2011. See VF's Shellstyle to have look and feel of it.
