WinFS was supposed to be in Windows 7, unfortunately they decided to drop it, I was really looking forward to that.

I was disappointed by this as well. Not so bothered at the time it was dropped, as I was a bit pro Linux and didn't want to see a killer feature that would beat it. There was a lot of talk of an open source equivalent, but it seems that as nothing came of WinFS, nothing open source appeared either. It would be damn useful having a queryable filesystem.
