I don't think so. >What's it's LINQ support like? It's not a LINQ provider, you can just use LINQ to objects/collections as usual. >Caching? Yes, but it's irritating and I turn it off. >Change Tracking? Yes. I like the way the entities are "loose" and track their own state and there is no need for any kind of attach/detach. >In its simplest form EF4 can act like a code generation tool, creating an object hierarchy from the database. I'm quite happy with that actually, mainly because that what I'm used to with netTiers. >It's also worth considering that knowledge invested in EF4 will be worthwhile - I can't see it going away, and it's likely to only get better. Indeed! That was a serious consideration when evaluating EF4. Cheers, Greg
