Windows Surendra Verma, Development Manager on the Vista Kernel team, digs into Vista's new Transactional File System with Charles Torre. TxF, as it is referred to internally, is a new kernel construct that is part of an updated Vista NTFS. Surendra provides a high level overview of TxF in this video. Elsewhere, Microsoft is serious about meeting its ship date for Windows Vista during the second half of 2006.

The interviewer is pretty annoying with his over-enthusiastic comments.

There's also talk of having a transaction when opening read-only ?!

I haven't finished watching yet...

"Isn't it just a bunch of Microsofties giving each other reach-arounds and pretending everything they make is innovative?"

It's not nearly that interesting.

C9 interviewer here (aka Charles).

I would argue that my enthusiasm is very-well justified and has nothing to do with Marketing hyperbole. Obviously, you guys have little understanding or experience with Channel 9... At any rate. TxF represents a very significant improvement to file system architecture. Historically, Transactions are typically NOT found at the FS level. In Vista, they are an integral part of NTFS. This excites me. Excitement breeds enthusiasm.
