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.

They basically said it was originally intended as a file system back in the Win95 days, but it is no longer a file system, but an extension of NTFS. I'll find a link for you.
