'Steve Story said, "WinFS has been vaporware for over a decade, and recently a delay of many more years was announced. (2008 has been bandied about.) Somewhere, Microsoft programmers are spending their entire careers on a single piece of vaporware."'

And now you tell me none of those were delivered!

Well, lying about their products has always made them the most profitable software company in the past. As long as customers keep lining up to shell over hard earned cash for the products, why should Microsoft change? The products never delivered what was promised before, why should anything change now?
