Windows Vista is Microsoft's greatest success, because it's main purpose was to make people forget the promises made for Longhorn.
I do kinda wish we had gotten WinFS. All the "ideas" of it seemed cool, just impossible to implement without breaking every existing application.
FS?
As in "F'ing Shit"?
If I recall, it was a new file system. So instead if folders, every file would just kind of have tags and could be dynamically grouped like that. I could very well be wrong, but I remember being excited for it.
Can we please have a FUSE FS like this?
I was curious, so I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3263036/file-system-that-uses-tags-rather-than-folders
One of the projects they mention is tagfs, which sounds like it does what you want: http://github.com/marook/tagfs
Ha, thanks for searching!
