I love the amateurness of the video! Especially how the camera slowly pans
around to Jim Allchin at the start, then you can see people walking around
in the reflections behind him!

I think it'll be delayed again, probably won't be on general release until
2008-2009!

Microsoft's cutting of WinFS makes your prediction unlikely to prove
accurate, IMO.

Good point...with that out of the picture, what really remains that
will be "earth shattering" other than the licensing fees?

Phew! I wasn't looking forward to seeing that silly WinFS at all. I'm so
glad that hunk-o-junk SQL will have no influence on the way Windows stores
its files. All praise be to Allah for that one. Now, for sure, I'm going to
go get me a copy of Longhorn. In 2007.

true, it's much quicker to release product when you don't have to include
features...
