there's been lots of talk on http://arstechnica.infopop.net about the upcoming version of windows and it's new filesystem structure.. apparently what some are thinking is that app's and files (YOUR personal files) will be kept in a database that you subscribe to.. somewhat like .Mac doing now, but with EVERYTHING there.. essentially you use a dummy terminal and "rent" apps from a subscription server and also store your files there, all to be retrieved over your network...
my opinion: BAAAD idea... personal privacy invasion, monopolistic control over your apps, etc... Longhorn already has a new filesystem that is based on a database that references back to a main server for MD5 checks.
SCArrryyy...
