  Windows 2095, anyone?
Now here's a surprise: Microsoft crowed for the last couple years about a product that isn't remotely ready for primetime. Tasty eats in Gates-ville, apparently. Crow, that is. Their new estimate for when WinFS will be available in a shipping product is somewhere into the next decade. Given the number of folks still on NT 4.0, Microsoft is probably looking well into the future to get most of their users over to the new filesystem. Seems to me that the Linux folks, or Apple, or PalmSource, or Symbian (you get the point) should be able to come up with a viable alternative to the PC-centric, Windows-dominated platform by then, no?
