>>Kevin, has been fairly tight-lipped, but I know he is going to expand the concept of the abstract factory to all the class libraries. He also mentioned a lot of new builders were coming down the pike. But the most important improvements will be in the area of bizobjs. There will be a lot more web support and tighter inteegration with Web Connection.

What it means is that you have total control over which classes are actually instantiated without having to change the source code. Different clients can have different implementation of the same classes without having to change anything in the code. Lots of flexibility.
MM is designed to take advantage of of client/server data. The bizobj out of the box will work with remote or local data if you are using views. Read the documentation on Local and Remote data.
