Just to ask the obvious and obnoxious question, in what way is this different or better than NHibernate or any of the other existing open source tools? Other than sproc's or the fact it will be semi-supported by MS?

I'm still aggravated at MS for the ObjectSpaces fiasco. I think it set back the .NET community quite a bit by putting a lid on persistence tools. It'd definitely be cool to see something from you guys on this.

A few interesting finds

After a fast run through the features the difference is that it looks likea beginner prototype that should be thrown away, comparing it with real O/R mappers /(NHybernate, EntityBroker, LLBGEN Pro). It basically lacks nearly every feature that I consider the advantages of such tools (dynamic object based queries, db independant, caching, oo features) and is extremely basic and crude, when you compare it to them.

Been there (at the site), seen, had a good laugh.
