But wait! WinFS (or whatever its name) is just around the corner!

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Microsoft promises something better than NTFS - something "object oriented" or "database driven" - since before I moved to Windows NT 3.5.

You joke but ReFS has been out since Windows 2012. Combined with Storage Spaces, there is a lot of overlap with zfs.

I will concede it's close to what we have with ZFS, LVM+XFS or BtrFS, but, still, it's not quite up to what WinFS promised in terms of semantic awareness.
