![]() They need iView, Premiere (media management), Sony Acid/Vegas, ACDSee, Avid Xpress Pro etc. DI Suite, Money, Streets and Trips aren’t going to do it. Microsoft needs professional level apps to adopt WinFS/Katmai. IView is supposed to go up against Adobe Bridge, Aperture and such not iPhoto and PSE. Rmemeber, the DI Suite is not for professionals or power users so there’s no point in putting iview in there. Their current Digital Image Suite (library) already smokes iPhoto, and PSE so that obviously wasn’t their motivation either. iview is way too advanced for the rest of the digital image suite (and by extension MS Works). ![]() They might use iView with Expression because it fits perfectly there. IView isn’t going to replace the digital image gallery in Vista and Microsoft has never really pushed their digital image suite in any meaningful way so there’s no reason to believe they are going to now. Where do you see Mail in that video as being different than Beta 2? Jet blue (ESE) and SQL Server Express/Everywhere are relational. Vista isn’t *based on* a relational store but all of the apps are. I could go for days thinking of simple relational ideas like this that would make everyday computing more useful. – drag/ associate multiple pictures to a Contact or from a Contact (sorta there). – dragging restaurant searches from Google Local or Local Live to my contacts folder and it saves them as Contacts. – looking up Bryce Canyon and drag that to a 1500-shot vacation and the info is auto-entered into the location data for EXIF/ IPTC. – dragging a Money contact for a bill to S&T or live local, etc and it shows me that location. I hate having to open Money to see an account’s phone # and I hate duplicating info in both lists. – Money’s accounts stored as (secure) Contacts and aren’t any different than Outlook’s. They just couldn’t cut the cord to backward compatibility. ![]() Outlook, OE, Digital Image Library, Money, Streets n Trips and many more. MS had plenty of apps to create a wonderful ecosystem foundation to prove WinFS. iView easily smokes candy apps like ACDSee, iPhoto, and PSE while providing the tools to handle pro-size libraries. MS bought iView because Vista integrated Digital Image Library and they need a replacement. A lot of people were pissed about this Channel 9 video hyping us up only to see Blah, myself included. I was excited watching that OE video but beta 2 Mail is not the same as the demo. Those apps are built on silo’d dbs like we already use. Neither it nor Windows Explorer will be built on a relational data store. Document Explorer is just a quick search result 2.0. Vista is not based on a relational data store.
