[quote:eb7048e5d5]New details have been confirmed about Microsoft's new Operating System to supercede Windows XP - Codenamed "Windows Longhorn".
At the core of the new operating system is a relational file store; file systems would become plug-ins for a raw, native relational data store. A relational data store would allow users to execute complex search queries very efficiently.
This move is significant as it shows Microsoft is beginning to tie enterprise server products to client software. Also in the works is a new peer-2-peer networking feature to allow finer granularity of network access for ad hoc collaboration.
