    Next Windows OS, no file system!

    Next OS called "BlackComb" by MS developers.The registry is gone in .Net. They now use something called a "global cache".
    There are NO more files!!
    Everything is through the Web Storage System!!), but
    use this specially encrypted web-based file system. It
    uses a Jet-engine to talk to it too. And even on the
    local computer, there are no files to access, and you
    have to go through http to get EVERYTHING! Yes, even
    locally.

    Sooo...all the data is on the net.

    That'll be grand. I'm sure sensetive data is best stored on the net rather than with tape backups in a locked safe...

    Besides which, that whole idea is stupid...IMHO.
