Longhorn… the hype was strong with that one. I don’t even remember what the hype was about, just that Longhorn was supposed to be amazing.
Comment on Do you remember Windows 95? How about Windows 96?

I do kinda wish we had gotten WinFS. All the “ideas” of it seemed cool, just impossible to implement without breaking every existing application.

FS?
As in “F’ing Shit”?

Future Storage aka WinFS. It was a cool idea, metadata based relational db file system. But the execution was horrible, SQL Server based file system which was exposed via .NET IIRC.
Desktop search was supposed to be revolutionized, but it was scrapped just before Vista was released

If I recall, it was a new file system. So instead if folders, every file would just kind of have tags and could be dynamically grouped like that. I could very well be wrong, but I remember being excited for it.

Can we please have a FUSE FS like this?
