Re: [ossig] Gates visit to Malaysia to cultivate talent
my take of it is:
the "file system", or the whole HDD, somewhat going to
behave like a "database". XML based too.
most of average end users are still file based.
the "advance" ones use spreadsheets/simple database
like access.
having that feature in the next MS OS can help many. u
can do alot more by knowing simple relation, but u
must know how ur file are related to each other. I do
c file organization problem with alot of end users.
giving support to school is going to put in more grass
root hold for MS. that reminded me of colgate, the
tooth paste.
And yeap, no free lunch.
