Probably this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Do I often provide full reasoning and explanations of the whirling in my pea brain? Not really. Most of the time I just dump stuff in the blog and wait to see the responses, like yours.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Alex.Patrick Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088461489050417591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135517.post-1125662038088097012005-09-02T04:53:00.000-07:002005-09-02T04:53:00.000-07:00Hi Patrick, do you read your blog comments?Hi Patrick, do you read your blog comments?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135517.post-1125577739648608702005-09-01T05:28:00.000-07:002005-09-01T05:28:00.000-07:00I find your blog interesting Patrick, you often sa...I find your blog interesting Patrick, you often say things very contrary to other people, and you often say things that I don't understand. <BR/><BR/>It would help me if you explained things in more detail, and backed up your ideas more.<BR/><BR/>For example, in this post:<BR/><BR/>Could you elaborate on what WinFS for the network would look like?<BR/><BR/>Could you elaborate on how computers without WinFS should be able to access the data? (if not through a SMB file share)<BR/><BR/>You mention that big old databases suck at ease of use.. I imagine that WinFS is going to expose its own user interfaces and features, not big old ugly database interfaces?<BR/><BR/>How is the current plan for WinFS not as good as Lotus Notes? I think WinFS will have the advantage of being the platform won't it? I'm sure Lotus Notes is a platform too, but I imagine one day WinFS will be on every windows computer. Since its a platform it will make possible tons of things not currently possible, won't it? and things not possible with lotus notes? (I don't mean technically not possible with lotus notes, but from a will it happen/work point of view).<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking of the ideas mentioned in the channel 9 video, like have a central store of data with public schemas, so if I use outlook to email my photos, it can search them for me, and send a long meta data. If I want to tag my photos in picassa, I can actually relate them to people/contacts. If I want to share my photos with another user who has WinFS, they'll get all my meta data too, not like today when every program stores stuff differently.<BR/><BR/>Well this is probably a bit of a disorganized message :) I'll blame that on this crap-ass tiny blogger text edit window I've been given.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your blog more, but I also look forward to more details/reasoning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135517.post-1125507892208793592005-08-31T10:04:00.000-07:002005-08-31T10:04:00.000-07:00Actually, that is not what they meant.What they me...Actually, that is not what they meant.<BR/>What they meant is that this has a backward compatability which is huge.<BR/>Across the network you could still use it as a WinFS if you have WinFS installed.<BR/>If you don't, it's just a file system, so you're not locked to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
