Expect WinFS in three years time


During his last visit to Moscow Bill Gates told to the press and the audience of the conference that WinFS is back. The conference was in the National Hotel in the historical center of Moscow, nearby Kremlin. Bill Gates was on this conference with Craige Mundy (CTO, VP of Microsoft), and Olga Dergunova (Chairwoman, Russian & CIS Market, Microsoft) with her directors, Vladimir Pavlov (Director of DPE, Microsoft Russia) and Igor Agamirzyan (Director of Strategy and Science, Microsoft Russia). From his words the WinFS conception is still live and as far Microsoft made WinFS so successful in Beta 1 milestone they slated WinFS back into Windows and currently plan to slate WinFS into all other data driven applications such as Windows Mail in Windows Vista, Windows Calendar, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Media Player, and Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook. Bill also said that Microsoft plans to release all of these products with WinFS as the data storage sub-system in the next 3 years.
