Zibbo was one of the chief architects of WinFS, along
with Balan Sethu Raman (who was transferred from the
FS group to the SQL group when I was last there,
working with the SQL group on the DB side of WinFS).

No mystery to me why it’s delayed/not going to be
delivered…

So much experienced talent bleeding away. You just
can’t lose engineers like MarkL and Zibbo. These two
guys were the goto senior devs when we need an
emergency, absolutely gotta work code review.

Damn that’s gotta hurt.
