Almeno così sembra...
Microsoft has scrapped plans for a WinFS Beta 2. Instead, elements of WinFS are being rolled into other products.
...CUT...
Meanwhile, the WinFS Team has been toiling away at what was to be the separate delivery of the new technology. Now comes word that this will not happen after all. WinFS is, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Leggendo da altre parti ho trovato:
These changes do mean that we are not pursuing a separate delivery of WinFS, including the previously planned Beta 2 release. With most of our effort now working towards productizing mature aspects of the WinFS project into SQL and ADO.NET, we do not need to deliver a separate WinFS offering.
Che probabilmente è la scelta giusta... speriamo...
