Lots of Information on ASP.NET "Whidbey"

Could this be the tool used to build the "killer" social networking application or should I say applications.

 

Sascha Corti writes

Incredible amounts of information on ASP.NET 2.0 (Whidbey) have been published on the ASP.NET site.

Topics include:

The site also states that if you have not gotten the Whidbey bits at PDC, there is no publicly available download for them yet.

WinFS - it's what people want

WinFS - it's what people want

I made it back from the PDC yesterday after staying on for a few days in LA. Just got to get over the jet lag again now - currently have little clue what day it is let alone which time zone I'm in.

While I was in the queue for check in at LAX, I was chatting to the person ahead of me in the line. When I mentioned the new file system and told how it was sort of a combination of a database and a file store I got kind of a blank look (understandably). When I explained that it meant you could tag your files with different information like the project it was for and the author of the document and then explore your files in different ways depending how you wanted to his eyes lit up. "We always have that problem", he said. "We never know what folder hierarchy to use, whether to use project name or client name or whatever."

You know what? I think this thing might catch on.

Great insight!  One of the best simple, real world explanation on why we should be excited about WinFS.  The days of using folders as categories/metadata to organize files may be behind us.  Well not quite yet.  In 3 years if we're lucky.
