So, will you talk about this WinFS server thing in the coming TechEd? ;-)
Back to the original question - what I'm interested in is that if WinFS
(server) will play a role as business application server side data storage
or persistence layer...
But according to what Chris said, it sounds like ASP.NET 3.0 and 'entity
framework' would be a better candidate for that role...
Hopefully we can have more detail about all those stuffs after TechEd...
Thanks
