I would like to add that in addition to the Web Service Software Factory: Modeling Edition, we have also released the Web Client Software Factory (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264518.aspx) and the Guidance Automation Toolkit/Guidance Automation Extensions (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/teamsystem/aa718949.aspx) for VS 2008

Focus less on the data tier. I hope that was a typo.

Microsoft is yet to start putting any resources into developing a solid data strategy. If one even exists.

.Net is a mess to say the least and SQL Server doesn't even have a debugger, along with entire host of functions that we have to code by hand to perform basic string tasks and create some array support for example all of which are part of FoxPro by the way. The only package that even came close to providing the necessart data support was VFP and MSFT killed that off.

Man this is frustrating that you actually believe what you are providing in terms of data is adequate. Perhaps you need to spend some time in the field and see the challenges we face instead of talking to the inner circle that makes their living sucking up to Microsoft, and have a career making excuses for the development tools you are putting out their.

on a closing note:

Before you start concerning yourself with factories perhaps you should improve inheritance in .NET that last thing developers need is another half implemented technology that sorta kinda works.

Jeez, Mark, you seem to be representing yourself to be a professional, so learn to communicate your concerns in a professional manner - rather than by spitting out angry bile. No, I don't work for Microsoft.
