explaining to a gradually more shocked Microsoft evangelist in 2003 why WinFS would never be accepted, even with Microsoft's potential leverage behind it. Why would it never be accepted? My dream is to create a similar platform. That said, I have no idea if semantics where even an issue in the eventual decision to retire WinFS as the future of storage. They weren't. (Disclaimer: I was on the WinFS team.)
