- programminggeek 15y agoMicrosoft tried to make the filesystem a database, as in, the filesystem was literally SQL Server or something. It didn't work. That is a completely different concept than simply changing the user-visible filesystem abstraction.
- lukeschlather 15y agoHow would you make a tag-based filesystem without a database that wasn't literally SQL server or something?
- wisty 15y agoI don't think it was really SQL Server. They could have made that work. I think it was more like they heard the XML buzz (this was some time ago), and tried to make a proprietary binary version of whatever it was XML was promising.
