Remember the 'New File System' that was supposed to be part of Windows
Vista, but was scuttled in order to ship something in this century? We
all heaved a huge sigh of relief.
But what WAS the NFS, an what was it supposed to do for us? I certainly
never new, and I suspect most others didn't either.
Tonight I ran across two new blogs by Hal Berenson, an ex-MSer who was
in charge of the SQL Server project long ago. He's done a great job
describing the operational problem(s) NFS was trying to solve and the
implementational constraints MS wrestled with. He's planning to
continue with a detailed history of Microsoft's efforts. Great read!
