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."

It is no longer an extension to NTFS. That part is dead now. All there is left is some inclusion in MS SQL-server.
I'm looking forward to the link though 
For the last 6 months I've been working almost exclusively with databases, leaving the GUI-stuff to those who like that.

I'm not aware of such statements.
I am however aware that it's not a classical FS in any low-level sense, but I'm not aware they have claimed that it's not a FS in a high-level sense.
The article clearly shows that WinFS _was_ intended as a FS.
How come the developers are saying it is dead as a high-level file system if it wasn't intended to be such a thing?
