Another reason that Microsoft may have "unsupported" CIFS is that the company will be altering Exchange's file system and merging it with SQL Server's database file system.

Whilst I'm reluctant to label SQL Server as a "file system", the approach may well help Exchange configurations. Its well known in the messaging industry, that the JET database (used by Exchange) sucks big time.

If Microsoft controls the data, it can tap in and extract a tariff in the form of a license fee on every single server that needs to access a Windows system.

a more likely scenario than the merits (or otherwise) of CIFS.

cheers, kumar
