WinFS
Although a full-blown version of a new Windows file system won't be ready for Windows Vista's release in late 2006 (instead it will ship with an unnamed version of a "Longhorn-based" server in 2007), a limited version of WinFS will be included with Vista and offers a look at what's to come. Basically, WinFS frees you from having to remember the arcane file structure on your hard drive. Now files can be linked dynamically by metatag content, such as author, content, and keyword. Thus, without physically moving a file on your hard drive, you can create virtual stacks of files.

See our build 5219 slide show for a more detailed look inside this release.
