Well it has been my experience that if you want to see what Microsoft is going to deliever next year you can buy a Mac today (now a Unix based system). This is a lot of marketing fluff about WinFS, if you want metadeta beyond keywords get a relational database, even Oracle. The cool thing about Apple's Tiger system (due this summer) is that each application can supply its own metadata to the system search engine (SpotLight), exposing only that which is appropriate to be made public. Sounds like Microsoft is once again going to expose a technology with so many security holes you can drive a Mac truck through it.
