After Windows XP, Microsoft came up with a brilliant concept for a new operating system with an array of stunning new technologies.

But Microsoft pushed the new operating system back, and instead put out Windows Vista, which is more or less, Windows XP, but prettier. WinFS got cancelled.

Now, Microsoft is rapidly losing market share of the operating system market to Apple's Mac lineup, brilliant advertising campaigns, and, quite frankly, better and more reliable technology. Note that this also affects all the computer manufacturers of Windows-based computers. This includes Dell, HP/Compaq, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, Sony, etc.

Microsoft has been working on that operating system that they pushed back (It has many code names, one of which is Windows 7). Will Microsoft be able to get back its market share? Will it bring back WinFS?

The fate of Microsoft, and all the manufacturers of Windows-based computers may depend on it.

  • reminds me of windows 8... the real thing!

  • Microsoft's been doing pretty well recently - but either way I'd love to see this concept put into further consideration. It's a bit risky since it's totally different from the norm, but if they get it to feel natural enough I think it would be quite a hit. Thanks for posting this video mate.

  • WTF?! windows 7 not include this!

  • Херня какаето

  • @mrjameshid So what? If you like living with an outdated PC, you can live with an outdated OS too.

  • xp only uses like 200 mhz , windows 7 uses 1 ghz

  • Microsoft now owns 90+% of the OS market share, of which XP owns 51%.

  • Longhorn Build 4074 has a version of WinFS if you were to google for a copy to test out in virtualbox or another partition although WinFS is/was incredibly buggy and had performance issues which is why MS scrapped the idea and incorporated some of the existing, working aspects into things like SQL server, Windows Media Player, parts of Windows Live Essentials.

    Things like libraries, jump lists, search box and other parts of Windows Vista/7 were also part of WinFS.

    So it still exists, in a way.

  • Yeah! Czech republic! Yeah! Prague!

  • BIG BROTHER
