http://aspadvice.com/forums/333/ShowForum.aspxReliable networks of Web services are challenging to implement. Caching such services essentially involves taking snapshots of resources. Instead, why not use WinFS-WinFS synchronization to distribute data to local machines, thus avoiding the speed-of-light constrained latencies associated with web service calls? In such a model, how can distributed security be abstracted out of the application while supporting federated identities? Could the payback from a richer client UI justify a move from from SOA to WinFS sync? Would it be better to write Vista apps that bind to distributed WinFS data than to write web apps?enCommunityServer 2.1 (Build: 60809.935)http://aspadvice.com/forums/thread/17802.aspxMon, 15 May 2006 14:37:19 GMTe709ad4c-0c15-48eb-915e-c462c6e85445:17802triangle0http://aspadvice.com/forums/thread/17802.aspxhttp://aspadvice.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=333&PostID=17802I suppose WinFS a really interesting structure. I've searched to get more info on it and came upon some data. If you also wish to find out more, you might wish to give it a glance. <br />http://www.ntfs.com/
