Chozo4 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 (edited) Seems there is a bit of nashville in all of us as the whole OS was basically merged into win98 and IE4. What I find from reading that and the other projects is that microsoft has nowdays basically touted 'new technology' despite that it's existed for god knows how long under their sleeve. Such as from this snippet regarding project CAIRO:The Windows 95 user interface was based on the initial design work that was done on the Cairo user interface.[4] DCE/RPC shipped in Windows NT 3.1. X.500 shipped as part of Active Directory in Windows 2000. X.400 messaging shipped as part of Microsoft Exchange Server. Content Indexing is now a part of Internet Information Server and Windows Desktop Search.[1]The remaining component is the object file system, now called WinFS. It was originally planned as part of Windows Vista but development was cancelled in June 2006, with some of its technologies to be merged into other Microsoft products such as the next versions of Microsoft SQL Server codenamed "Katmai" and Windows codenamed "Vienna" under the Windows "7" Project.[5]Many of those features ended up in the NT line, however they were already integrated into the 9x line at once point during the project. Additionally , they had slated WInFS as being the next 'big thing' in vista despite the tech existed for 15-16 years.random note: On the flip-side, I do have build 5111 of Neptune sitting around. It's actually not that bad of an OS but still basically win2k at the very heart. Especially considering it's even labeled so in the system properties.
