The Future of Data Recovery will become immense more complicated too.
Today we have rescue iso's and floppy which will just routinely load a
vfat.o (FAT32) or ntfs.o (NTFS upto version 3.1) driver and any
administrator with human skillz will be able to extract his employers
valuable data in a breeze.
What will happen with WinFS? I wouldn't be surprised if a whole new
Windows based Data Recovery Industry will emerge. Selling Enterprise
labled recovery software which now also features WinFS Longhorn
Edition. Think maybe about prices starting from $1500,= and up?
And indeed then Microsoft just might, (after announcing the release of
Longhorn in end 2005, just after DRM got out for mandatory implementation
on all new Longhorn ready hardware, and just after Novell, IBM and RedHat
have beaten each other into a coma state of business affairs) happily
announce to small and medium business owners that putting their valuable
data on Microsofts Online Public SAN is much more cost effective as ever.
Well much more TCO aware as storing data on private Longhorn systems.
And don't forget that the Pentagon with its Total Information Awareness
Project is only now seeing its true dream come true.
