WinFS seems to have been cancelled-- sort of. "These changes do mean that we are not pursuing a separate delivery of WinFS, including the previously planned Beta 2 release. With most of our effort now working towards productizing mature aspects of the WinFS project into SQL and ADO.NET, we do not need to deliver a separate WinFS offering."

WinFS was meant to be an object-oriented, relational filesystem to be run on top of a real filesystem.
I always thought it was a sort of database running on top of NTFS. Check the line I quoted from your post, doesn't 'database' fit in better there?
Also, where in the article does it say WinFS is a filesystem? I can't seem to find it-- however, might be me being stupid.
