Jon Udell and Quentin Clark track where various bits and pieces of WinFS ended (or will end) up.

"It was a very typical computer science problem, where the schemas started out as a super-small set of things, and then became the inclusion of all possible angles, properties, and interests of anybody interested in that topic whatsoever. We wound up with a contact schema with 200 or 300 properties."

Quite an interesting read for historians of (overly) ambitious software projects.
