Just thought this might be interesting to some of you. The database-like FS for Longhorn has just been delayed until the end of the decade. That's great. It means that Microsoft's attempt to copy the BeOS filesystem is not meeting with much success.
Which leads to my follow on... I think I remember database-like file system capabilities in Reiser are scheduled for V5? Or could it be done with plugins? It would be great to beat MS to the DB filesystem punch. Maybe with object-oriented plugins in V4 that won't matter as much. BTW: I was thinking about Squid performance this morning vs. Cacheflow. Has anyone considered that a special V4 plugin for Squid might really boost it's performance. Just thinking out loud....
