One of the most interesting feature I was expecting to have on the future .NET Framework 3.0 release was undoubtely the new ADO.NET 3.0 (now called ADO.NET vNext), feature that I've not too much studied again but that seems extremely powerful.
Today the bad news (thanks to Paul Gielens for the link)... Pablo Castro (ADO.NET Technical Lead) has published on the ADO.NET Technology Preview Forum this sentence:
"ADO.NET vNext will not be included in .NET 3.0. (that's why we're just calling it "vNext" for now)."
We've to start crying I think...
