I'm writing this post on IE 7 from a Vista laptop that is about twice the size of my normal laptop. It is so big that it has a full keyboard, including the numeric keypad. I have no idea what the model is, but the screen it huge.

I was at the LINQ Session right now, and I was impressed with the capabilities even though I already knew about most of them. One very troubling things came up on this talk. DLinq is not going to support many to many assoications on the first version. This is fairly common, and I'm not sure how I will deal with it.

What is encouraging is that there is probably going to be a VSIP package that will include a full DLinq package for access. This mean that I would have a base line to work from when I'll bulid NLinq (for NHibernate). 

One amusing thing that came up was that Yosi Taguri is the guy I'm being refered to when I ask questions. "Talk to Yosi, he is marketing and knows what to answer." I guess the MS guys didn't read this.

This is the first time that I used Vista / IE 7, and they are both very pleasing to the eye. Many things that has became muscle memory are still working, which is the most important thing for me.
