Explanation (?): |
The Windows Future Storage service is the prelude to the Windows File System (WinFS). This is commonly considered a new file system that will debut in Windows codename Longhorn, but really it is a databasing engine that is applied on top of the NT File System. The features provided by WinFS will be similar, but much more complex, to those provided by the Indexing Service. Most of the features provided by this service can be used through Win32 API calls. This will allow queries to be made that will retrieve linked documents based on many criteria; such as filename, author, length, etc.
To the normal person this conceptual file system addon is not that important, but unless you are running a prerelease of Longhorn then this service is of no consequence. Although, if you are running Longhorn then you can safely disable this service at the expense of losing what little functionality the service currently provides. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
