I wonder if there is some source for this. People were able to run SQL servers in 2000 without much of a problem, it didn't need a mainframe to run a DB that fit on a consumer HDD.
There isn't a source for it. Running SQL to sync Dynamics CRM contacts with Outlook was commonplace.
WinFS was no longer required due to market changes, beyond any engineering challenges. There was no need for WinFS when cloud storage came along, aka SkyDrive.
