Some information about what lies behind some of the Microsoft code names
Just noticed this on Mark Fussell's blog
- "WinFS"- The digital aid meets meta data. Store all your "stuff" and find it seemlessly with hundreds of rules.
- "Indigo" - SOAP 1.2 + WS-*. The replacement for DCOM
- "Avalon" - Cool UI graphics, no Windows message pump and a declarative programming model.
- "Yukon" - SQL Server next with the beauty of an XML data type to store all those XML documents.
- "Whidbey" - VS.NET next with some great innovations in the XML programming model.
But then again as he says his description maybe biased as he "has worked on System.Xml for just over 3 years."
