    1) You surely aren't implying that the upcoming Windows version will be DOA, implying no one will buy it...right?
    2) Longhorn isn't vapourware given that it's readily available online in alpha forms and is going to hit beta shortly, and that MSDN developers have even more access to it. Vapourware is Duke Nukem Forever.
    3) What FUD associated with Longhorn are you referring to? I'm going to assume you're referring to the FUD about TCPA that people like you spread.

        I'd also like to idly point out that this article is ass, and Beagle/Spotlight/Google Desktop Search/MSN Desktop Search are nothing like what WinFS is to offer, and the author doesn't know what he's talking about.

        Beagle is comparable to Spotlight and MSN Desktop Search -- MSN Desktop Search is already out, Spotlight will be out next month. Saying they're beating MS to market with Beagle is a flat-out lie.

        Is now a good time to point out that Beagle and F-Spot were developed using .NET?

              This article is complete and utter BS. Perhaps they feel ready to compete with MS. The real world will tell them otherwise

                WinFS was promised in Windows 2000. Let's see what they deliver before canonizing it.

                  Red herring, Batman.

                  This has nothing to do with feature dates, and everything to do with design functionality. Beagle is comparable to MSN Desktop Search, and not WinFS.

                  Saying Beagle is comparable to WinFS is either an ignorant journalist or someone willfully lying. I'm betting on the latter, because IMHO the Open Source folks are just as good as bull**** and FUD as the corporate PR people, the same kind of people they claim to hate so much.
