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."

The OS400 application landscape's resembles the way BeOS was heading where "applications" are basically scripts written right to the OS, or they are "modules" that provide a complex feature... but you can't control the use of modules being strung together for new tasks because anything on the system can use the new feature once it's added.
What you describe sounds more like the result of an object-oriented environment, that's scriptable from a CLI. Aka Monad (now known as the Windows PowerShell) combined with Aero (.Net 2.0?).
