New Why that's a good idea
Filesystems are commoditized. Microsoft keeps trying to "fix" that by coming up with new ones, but people keep reverse-engineering the protocols. The next big push will be to turn the filesystem into a database. Reverse engineering the filesystem would then be equivalent (for legal purposes) to reverse-engineering SQL Server. If there isn't a commodity -- or at least Free and ubiquitous -- alternative to SQL Server before they ship that, we're in trouble.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

New That's fine but that's not the current direction.
The current direction is to get some of the features that Oracle & SQLServer have had for years and years. MySQL is not competing in the arena of distributed file systems integrated with the OS and carried out through a DB engine.

And let's have a little taste of that old computer-generated... swagger... yes.
