Bob Muglia on WinFS: Just after Longhorn, or not until Blackcomb?

  • Article

On Friday, I read coverage on News.com about an interview with Bob Muglia. In it he talks publicly about some of the options they are looking at for the WinFS file system timeline.

This morning, ARSTechnica and TechSpot had coverage of the same announcement that is a little more WinFS focused. And TechSpot had an interesting quote:

"Microsoft spokesman said that the company is trying to pull something unique with WinFS, something no one has ever done before, meaning we should be thinking of WinFS as a 2010 project, when the version of Windows beyond Longhorn, code-named Blackcomb, is slated to ship."

It is interesting to see how three different news organisations can provide similar coverage but each with a slightly different viewpoint.
