Has anyone else messed around with Orcas and especially LINQ?



LINQ makes me think that the recently "available" VFP team (one guy?) went into the .NET dev team, punched someone in the head and said "OK boys THIS is how you work with data in code".



I love it the more I use it. It is easy to try as they provided a VHD file for use with Virtual PC 2007 with everything ready to go.



For the web guys here (and those who dabble in both like myself) it also looks like they stole just about everything that was good about Dreamweaver and put it into the ASP.NET 3.5 development experience. I have always hated the ASP.NET VS editor. In fact you can get most of this now as a free download "Microsoft Expression Web" I have started using this side by side with VS2005, doing all my "web stuff" in it and switching to VS only for code behind.



Anyhow, just blathering because I'm excited about Orcas (yes, I am a geek and I know it) and thought someone here might have some interest.
