FYI, many out there (myself included) are excited/interested in other features of linq, but aren't necessarily that hot about linq to sql.You mean Linq for Entities vs Linq to SQL? That's fine... but what about Anders' comments, specifically those relating to FP?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
