IIRC Microsoft was talking about this since ca. 1994....
They still haven't implemented it fully with part of it's features
being available in Vista and indexing (disabled by many people and not
that useful anyway) available at least since NT 5.0.
WinFS is available as beta at the moment and IIRC Beagle/Spotlight
still work better without redesigning filesystem :-)
If somebody dug deep enough I think you could find an even older info
about this :-D
