Microsoft isn't going to incorporate it into Vista but I've been trying to get a fundamental concept of the idea today and I'm all but shocked they didn't implement this simple "idea" sooner because it really is simple. It can run on top of a Hierarchical File System(Files and Folders) or generate one on the fly.
Making it simple, understandable, and usable depends on the Graphical Interface. It's all based on keywords. Furthermore it actually makes security much easier and automatic to implement. You simply assign keywords to files. In the interface you can type them in or drag and drop them. The basics: Program, Data. When you install a program it gets the keywords "Program" and it's application name as a keyword. Save a file and it's key the tags "Data" and the application name. Use the label private and it gets security and encryption applied. If it's a picture it gets the picture tag. I figure most people will have about 10 keywords personal tags and a bunch of application tags. Overall a very simple system.
