  1. Review - Equinox Desktop Shell

    Too little too late. This would be nice during the Windows98 era, but now we have XP, so this is pointless for the most part

    I was being sarcastic. It would be extremely stupid for them not to use code from their top performing database.

    They built these services because they can't just sit around and wait for SQL Server 2003 to be completed, they have to be developing Longhorn right now.

    You're right, they're going to scrap all their SQL code and start from scratch, good move MS.

    No, what is now running in M5 is almost nothing like what we will see later.

    There are no SQL subsystems implemented yet because SQL Server 2003 is not finished.

    Please note that the reason why file system operations are so slow right now is because there is no WinFS, it's just a service which is emulating it to some extent.

    In theory the actual WinFS should be at least as fast as NTFS if not faster
