>Sadly the thing that is probably most important DLINQ - which is the data integration functionality - is the technoloogy that looks least impressive at this point with sort of a half baked Entity Manager. But again, it's very early nad DLINQ is the most high level of the LINQ family and it needs a stable base to grow.

I follow a few blogs of people who write/sell ORM tools and they all seem to have the same option of it. Namely, attribute based stuff doesn't scale well (and the fact that right now it appears to only apply to SQL server will be a huge problem if it's not fixed before release).

Since I'm primarily using C#, I really hope they make this stuff easier/less "weird" to use (like VB.NET) before release. Some of the syntax they came up with is just plain odd. For example, why should a developer have to learn a slightly different version of SQL? That's going to be really annoying.
