WinFS is dead

WinFS is dead. Charles Miller has a good post about it.

Tip: Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update

Upon automatically installing updates, Windows will reboot your computer without your consent, losing any unsaved work in the process.

• Tip: Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update.
• support.microsoft.com: Disable system auto restart after installing Windows updates.

This is the most asinine designed behavior I can think of. Haven't verified that these fixes work.
