Microsoft seems to be on a roll - first they released Windows Vista Beta 1, and now shortly after they’ve released their first WinFS (Windows File System) Beta a year before schedule! (They were supposed to have a beta ready when the final version of Windows Vista was released.) WinFS won’t be part of Windows Vista when it’s released, but will available as an add-on sometime in 2007. For more information on the beta release and WinFS in general, visit this PCWorld article.
