WinFS teaser video was so cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhWCH8ebShY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhWCH8ebShY
Watching various Channel9 videos with the cool demo apps, and then trying WinFS beta 2 on WinXP, I was shocked how alpha quality it still was. It was clear for me that it wouldn't ship with Whistler/Vista.
Sadly, all cool WinFS demo apps like the "Life Journal" timeline app (where you could zoom in and see all photos and videos on a vertical timeline) were missing in WinFS beta 2. All related videos got removed from Channel9 :/

The WinFS "store" was actually a sub-folder of the "System Volume Information" directory (a hidden dir on C: partition). You could access the WinFS using an UNC path and some .Net based utilities.
