Mike Pizzo writes a post about Microsoft’s data access strategy that covers a few important things:
1) Announces that EF will not make it into the Orcas release but will ship “A few months after the shipment of Orcas, and within the first half of 2008”. This plan will allow them to give us more than what they would be able to give us in the initial Orcas release.
2) Addresses the LINQ to SQL vs. Entity Framework question, which has been asked quite a lot.
