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 as a file system is dead.
However, it doesn't mean (AFAIC read it) that all parts of WinFS is dead. Some parts still live on in other forms.
But the FS in WinFS is gone. It's no longer sleeping. It's stonedead.
An alternative version of the WinFS development:
