The application blocks fill gaps in the logic, Microsoft watches how the blocks are used and puts the functionality into the next release. Proper software evolution!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would imagine a true Enterprise Library V2 will be some time away as it takes time to understand what the new framework provides. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This just means that developers who use V1 on 2005 will eventually have to put up with newbies saying &amp;quot;why are you doing it this way, when 2005 does it for you?&amp;quot;</description></item><item><title>Enterprise Library vs. .NET 2.0</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#423816</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2005 16:00:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:423816</guid><dc:creator>Chris Breisch</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Enterprise Library V2 : The Real Deal (Maybe)</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#423821</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2005 16:08:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:423821</guid><dc:creator>Being Scott Densmore</dc:creator><description>I have been holding off saying anything since Tom is in charge of &amp;amp;amp;ldquo;messaging&amp;amp;amp;rdquo; (I just type...</description></item><item><title>re: Enterprise Library and .NET 2.0: What's the deal?</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#423824</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2005 16:12:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:423824</guid><dc:creator>Chris Woodruff</dc:creator><description>Thanks Tom for the update.  Is there any chance to have a post identifying which existing Blocks will have the most changes to them?  I am curious since .NET 2.0 is light years ahead of 1.1 and the effects that it will have with EntLib.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks again for the post.

It is so easy to move from 1.1 to 2.0 without even noticing all the remarkable changes in there (generics, wow!). Waiting a while to see (and later emulate) a library built to leverage those improvements is a small price to pay.</description></item><item><title>re: Enterprise Library and .NET 2.0: What's the deal?</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#433464</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Jun 2005 21:56:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:433464</guid><dc:creator>sandeep</dc:creator><description>Tom, &lt;br&gt;  any update on when we will see the first drop of the Ent Lib for 2.0 ? </description></item><item><title>Enterprise Library vs. .NET 2.0</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#435153</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 Jul 2005 23:27:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:435153</guid><dc:creator>Chris Breisch</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>EntLib &amp;amp;amp;quot;June 2005&amp;amp;amp;quot; and Whidbey Thoughts</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#436594</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2005 23:28:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:436594</guid><dc:creator>TSHAK</dc:creator><description>As you are probably aware, Microsoft's patterns &amp;amp;amp;amp; practices (aka PAG for Platform Architecture Guidance)...</description></item><item><title>EntLib June 2005 Thoughts</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/tomholl/archive/2005/05/31/423655.aspx#436822</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jul 2005 17:12:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:436822</guid><dc:creator>Darron's Notes</dc:creator><description>Tim posted his thoughs on EntLib June 2005 release today.
