A database like file system has been a pipe dream for many, many years. But this would be a little different. Much smaller scale and scope. None of the pie-in-the-sky promises that WinFS was about. Aaron, Yeah, synchronization is hard with only two machines. Let alone 'n' number of machines. It does require that you do all of your data access client side using XmlHttp requests. Using this with any current server-side technologies would be tough. Erwyn,

Aaron,

Microsoft has tried to go down that road and failed. A common data store for all applications gives me too much of a WinFS déjà vu. Microsoft has tried to go down that road and failed.

It beats rolling your own active x control to accomplish synchronization. Not sure how much else, how would my offline site run unless its all client side JavaScript.
