WinFS and Windows Monad Shell will be ready when Vista is released

[Guest]

On Microsoft Site Windows Monad Shell is not beta_3 and WinFS is beta_1.
WinFS and Windows Monad Shell will be included in Vista?

The current status at the moment is no, WinFS will be available as a
download after Vista is released, the release date is not know. The same
applies to Monad Shell.

No, that has not been confirmed. It is available to it now in BETA form, but
its guaranteed they will make the final build available to Windows XP.

You've just contradicted yourself. It hasn't been confirmed, and then
guaranteed to be put back onto XP. Make your mind up.

Thats a grammatical error, its not guaranteed if they will make the final
release available to XP. I read somewhere, when Vista reaches RTM, WinFS
should be then available as BETA 2 with a final release sometime in 2007 as
a free download.

That's what I heard also - also I presume that if a product is in beta and
aimed at a specific product, ie. WinFS Beta and Windows XP, I presume then
it's pretty much set in stone. It's unlikely they'll put half a decade's
worth of work into something then bottle out at the last minute.

Glad we sorted this out though )
