In that latter use case, SharePoint is a better alternative to WinFS anyway. It also has scaling issues, but at least they're a little easier to handle because you usually "segment" your SharePoint apps into per-department or per-project sets anyway, which makes capacity handling somewhate easier than if it was a filesystem (local or networked).

In essence, I suspect that their first issue was support. Call it a filesystem, and people will expect NTFS speed and scalability - local or networked.

The fact that canning it allows them to sell SharePoint is merely convenient compared to how much money and face it saved them if they'd shipped it.

That having been said, the WinFS work was apparently rolled back into SQL Server, and lies with them now. So I do expect to see SharePoint being the end recipient of WinFS work, albeit now requiring two sets of licenses rather than just one.]]>

Is that intentional or am I missing something?

While I agree the lack of native support for excel exports in Notes is kinda silly, I've been getting along quite well with a couple of simple exports agents I blogged about here: { Link }

Those are now a standard component of my SuperNTF framework { Link } which also incorporates the ASND Export Facility from OpenNTF, which allows for the creation of reusable report definitions.

IIRC, Outlook uses an embedded copy of Word as its editor/renderer for emails, but probably doesn't use the same editor for calendar entries.

That would certainly explain this behaviour, anyway...]]>

If a standard isn't documented it is not a standard. The idea is that you select the standards that matter to you, and document them. Then everybody who needs to use the standard knows where to find it, and can use it. What it is, is almost immaterial. What is important is that it is written down, and everybody is held accountable to it.

With reference to your comment on exception handling - I quite agree. I'm not proposing everything be written down. Every system has an edge, you mst select a reasonable edge when you start. Rather start off with the basics, and work from there. Pilot your approach. Oh - and also provide the means for people to suggest improvements to standards so they can be continuously refined. No one person can think of everything - the more you get the team to pool their expertise, the better results you will have. And this gets standard development out of the ivory tower and into the real world.]]>

But there are problems. The phrase "to solve recurring problems" is key. Some standards address problems that rarely if ever occur. Rather than applying these stanrds as normal practice, perhaps they could be invoked in exceptional cases. The geek in me can't help but make the obvious code analogy. With exception handling, the normal case is concise, readable and efficient, unecumbered by code that defends against what likely will not happen while code for the exceptional case lives in it's own place ready to be invoked on the rare occasion.

For problems that are truly recurring, we have many conventions, best practices, techniques, language features and tools to help and be re-used. This is why I prefer emergent standards such as XP to those that feel like they were conceived in an ivory tower and imposed on, rather than adapted to, IT organizations.]]>
