As you've hinted, it's at least partly a file system problem. Oddly, it has never been clear whether or not WinFS would resolve some of these long standing problems. When I have the dreaded file-in-use problems, I use ProcessExplorer (the former Sysinternals tool) to look for all procs that have files open -- it works pretty well. Half the time it seems like Windows Explorer is the culprit. Ugh. It’s a huge problem that *every* windows user hits eventually. As you’ve hinted, it’s at least partly a file system problem.
