   I've been hearing this sort of thing for a while - rumours of Gates wanting to integrate MS SQL server into windows somehow and give it away for free to annoy Oracle.I think some of this will mean that you will be able to do a lot of more interesting things with regard to how you search for, and within, files. The opportunity to make SQL queries and transactions govern the workings of the file system opens up some interesting possibilties, like some kind of data mining technology, etc.I think that this will ultimately be a good thing. Well, for the consumer, anyway. I dare say it will spark some kind of legal battle as per usual ;)
