The next version of MS Windows will have an RDBMS based file system.
Your note raises the interesting perspective that in some years OS
might use mixed XML/RDBMS natively instead of a classic file system
for storing all kinds of information, in particular mail, documents,
spreadsheets and presentations.
What opportunities would arise from this? Would the benefits outweight
the cost?
I can envision the help desk calls already:
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't just type 'dir' anymore, you have to use 'saxon
-o STD_OUT c:\ dir.xslt'"
