Back when Windows Vista was still known as Windows Longhorn, the operating system contained a very interesting and promising feature, a feature promoted as one of the 'pillars' of Longhorn: WinFS. WinFS was a storage subsystem for Windows, based on a relational database, that could contain whatever data you wanted to put in it. Thanks to the relational properties of the database, you could then create relationships between data, or let the computer do that for you.

I also have a development project aiming to implement a relational filesystem, and the relative desktop environment build around it: http://lobotomy.sf.net .
I've not so much time to dedicate the project, actually it is just a (not enterely working) proof, but sometime I can release some new code and, above all, some new addiction to the specifications.
If someone has feedback, it is always welcome ;-)
