RE: sftp - transactions?

You are right about WinFS: the current prediction at MS seems to be that
this will be available as an upgrade about 1 year after Longhorn is out.

But if you check more info at the link I posted, MS is working on NTFS
transaction support for Longhorn, and the technology will apparently also be
included in the Longhorn beta. This is independent of WinFS.
