Sir Radfordin Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 There is no way that M$ are going to release an OS that won't allow existing applications to run. If they did they aren't going to see much take up because no-one will be able to change to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LB Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 that is based on the assumption that the WinFS is a completely new file system, it is NOT, it is designed to run on top of NTFS.......the designers of the site need to do a bit more research.....

Chris Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 lol to add more confusion to it...Apparently WinFS is NOT a file system...WinFS is not a file systemNTFS will be the only supported file system in Longhorn, from a setup and deployment standpoint, though the OS will, of course, continue to support legacy file systems like FAT and FAT32 for dual-boot and upgrade purposes. The oft-misunderstood Windows Future Storage (WinFS), which will include technology from the "Yukon" release of SQL Server, is not a file system, Mark Myers told me. Instead, WinFS is a service that runs on top of--and requires--NTFS. "WinFS sits on top of NTFS," he said. "It sits on top of the file system. NTFS will be a requirement."Interestingly, when WinFS is enabled, file letters are hidden from the end user, though they're still lurking there under the covers for compatibility with legacy applications. This reminds of when Microsoft added long file name (LFN) support in Windows 95, but kept using short (8.3) file names under the covers so 16-bit applications would still work. Expect this to be the first step toward the wholesale elimination of drive letters in a future Windows version.WinFS is designed to deliver new file searching and navigational features to end users. One of the big problems with PCs today is that it often takes longer to find a document on your hard drive than it does to find information on the Web via Google. With WinFS, that will no longer be the case. See my Longhorn Alpha Preview 3: Build 4015 review for information about the new Libraries in WinFS that will help users logically collect related documents and other information.I think it will be best to wait until 2004/5 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
