Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Microsoft plans to bundle iFS copycat into it operating system
Actually, and to MS's credit, they've had this in the works for some time, as is mentioned in the article.
No doubt that iFS is cool, I've set it up for prototype purposes and really liked it.
Making a RDBMS the underpinning foundation of your OS is undoubtedly more complex than building a tool such as iFS.

Subject: Microsoft plans to bundle iFS copycat into it operating system
FYI, http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23852.html
They seem to have decided that iFS is not a bad idea, and they will integrate it into their future OS.
Same strategy as for Novell's NDS and the Windows Active Directory in Windows2000.
A Netscape equivalent into Windows95.
OS/2 HPFS which was ported as NT's NTFS.
On and on I suppose, if the strategy works, why not continue.
