I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that the C# team originally wanted to go some completely different route than what LINQ is...the phrase "relational operators" comes to mind.

Perhaps what MSR was working on was what C# was eyeing initially. But I think it was different than what LINQ became.


>>No assertions at all. YAG told the MVPs last year at the Summit that Fox team members had worked on LINQ. Pretty much all of them were involved.
