      Quentin sounds like a major Architecture astronaut[^]. "it has to be done very carefully and architected right." "architected" is not a fucking word. God I hate it when people write like that.

        the fact that the blog's gone almost 3 years without a post isn't a promising sign for it being an anything. :rolleyes:

                          No, because then it will turn to dust. (I knew WinFS was in trouble when the only examples anyone ever came up with for how "cool" it was were about organizing your music files.)

                                It's "architectured"! Usually when you correct someone you also point out the right form. :D

                                      That architecture astronaut rant is so good... I like to re-read it occassionally as it stops me worrying about all the "new technologies" that I still haven't had time to look at.

                                        IIRC it has been shelved for now. Lessons learned from it are present in SQL Server 2008. Hopefully they do get their 'A's into 'G' and roll it out.
