Microsoft 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."

To me, this is really simple: WinFS is a database running on top of NTFS, organizing the files on that NTFS volume in such a way that they can be manipulated as if they are in a database.

A filesystem atop a filesystem don't make no sense to me.
