ADO.NET Entity Framework cut from .NET 3.5/Orcas
Kevin Miller recently blogged about the recent confirmation that the EDM Designer will not be in Orcas.
Yesterday, the ADO.NET team reported that the ADO.NET Entity Framework will not be in the RTM of Orcas, but should ship in the first half of 2008.
When I hear “first half of 2008”, I interpret that as June 30, 2008. Microsoft shipped the first CTP of the ADO.NET Entity Framework in August of 2006. That means it will be almost two years from the first CTP to a release. Two years! Unreal.
Frans Bouma has some interesting thoughts as the underlying reasons.
Our decision to switch to ActiveRecord and nHibernate has been clearly solidified.
