This is a major feature Microsoft is working on for Windows 'Longhorn':

Longhorn will include a database-like file system called Windows Future 
Storage (WinFS), which is based on technology from SQL Server 2003 
(code-named Yukon). This file system will abstract physical file 
locations from the user and allow for the sorts of complex data 
searching that are impossible today. For example, today, your email 
messages, contacts, Word documents, and music files are all completely 
separate. That won't be the case in Longhorn.
