So before starting to talk about the death of LINQ to SQL you really first need to address the death of Typed DataSets, which is not going to happen is it? I don't understand where this need "to kill" solid and mature technology just because you have some new flashy think that allows you to partly do the same thing as the old technology did, but maybe a bit easier and with slightly less code. A similar discussion has been going on with Windows Forms as well ever since WPF was released in .NET v3.0. Windows Forms is solid, mature and probably much more bugfree (whatever that means) than WPF, and you have a better tool support in Visual Studio (at least until VS 2008). The only thing that really is dead, as far as I can come to think of is Remoting. I personally never used it and never worked in a project that made use of Remoting, and probably never will.

Last year they didn't have anything new , so I wonder what we'll see this year ;) Do not forget, that historically Microsoft releases a new DA technology every PDC.
