Microsoft Changes Longhorn Plans
Microsoft announced today that it will strip WinFS from Longhorn. WinFS was to have been a new file system, based on SQL Server. This doesn't mean that WinFS will go away, only that it won't be included in the initial Longhorn release, currently scheduled for 2006.
Also, Microsoft says that Avalon, the presentation layer, and Indigo, the interoperability layer for Longhorn will also be available for WinXP and Win2003. I heard Don Box state earlier this year that Indigo would work on WinXP and Win2003, so this comes as no surprise. [cNet]
