ohhh it does!! you now have three different ways that you can maintain state. the usual in-process method used by classic asp, which is really tricky to get to work over a web farm. an out of process state server that can manage the state for any number of machines. and if you're using mssql as your db, then it can be used to manage state...all without any extra coding....
