So the rumors raised by Microsoft Watch were true. And it did not even take a month to make the Beta 1 of WinFS ready to be released. Last night we announced the availability of the WinFS Beta for MSDN Subscribers. According to the website the beta and the SDK docs are now available on MSDN Subscriber Downloads (look under Tools, SDKs and DDKs). So if you are an MSDN subscriber get the bits and the docs, and see how to take advantage of Microsoft’s next-generation relational file system for Windows.
