I think he lives near me, a few blocks over. Want me to go knock on his door and ask if he cares about you? ;) I could go put a put "Shorthorn" poster in his front yard.

Sure, go ahead ;), I'm sure he'll be very delighted to get reminded of a certain individual called 'Bouma' EVEN during weekends! ;)

Scott, if you put that poster up in his front yard I promise to donate 100$ to your resulting legal expenses fund! :-)

Apparently, we will see some kind of beta-WinFS to coincide with the launch of Longhorn Final. But I agree, this is, to put it mildy, NOT GOOD. This is not about new client experiences, this is about the hard needed next step in business solutions development. Yet another delay in MBF. Thanks SP2, thanks Trustworthy Computing, thanks security push, thanks biggest engineering project ever to be undertaken by Microsoft. I don't want to know how many ISV's have to adjust there long-term development plans yet AGAIN. Thank God we at least will be able to leverage Indigo and Avalon on older systems; that's the way it should have been from the start.
"Don't call it ShortHorn"? Fine. How about Windows XP 1.5 than?

(Let's make one thing pretty clear here though: the advancements in .NET are still rocking. Especially WinFX<->.NET should be great...)
