What’s Been Yanked From Vista, And When
Tuesday, June 27th, 2006
The disappearance of WinFS from Microsoft’s next-generation Windows Vista operating system 
came as "no surprise" Monday to industry analysts such as Directions on Microsoft’s Michael Cherry.
"The only thing that was a surprise was that even though they promoted it as much as they did, it never got any traction," said Cherry. "It just seemed dead from the start."
WinFS — which truth be told was yanked from Vista back in August 2004 — wasn’t the last (first?) piece of the OS to get the hook.
"I think we’re aware of [dropped features] in Vista because they started promoting pieces of it so early," Cherry said. "It’s like the tree in the forest. If we didn’t know about a feature, would we have heard about it being dropped?" Small Business Pipeline | What’s Been Yanked From Vista, And When
