re: .NET Rocks! on ASP.NET Dynamic Data

It's funny. Every time I see the words "Dynamic Data" I think "cool, MS is finally doing some Comet" (ie using Ajax, a server pushes data down to the client, updating a client's webpage in real time). See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)

Alas, every time I eventually remember what you guys think of 'Dynamic' I become dismayed. This is NOT dynamic and has nothing to to with being dynamic.

This IS bringing some very powerful design features allowing extremely rapid STATIC web pages to be built.

Static=Yes, Rapid=Yes, Powerful=Yes, Dynamic=No
