Roger Jennings has a nice summary and various links to a great article by Ian Cooper that looks at LINQ from the point of view of DDD, TDD and PI.
Roger notes another voice in the chorus that reiterates we need support for more db’s than simply the ones by MS. He says “….He then goes on with a plea to Microsoft to enable LINQ to SQL for databases other than SQL Server. I agree that EF and EDM are far too heavyweight approaches to ordinary object persistence needs and that a single-file or attribute-based approach is likely to satisfy 90% of developer’s needs for an object/relational mapping tool. But it won’t if it’s locked into SQL Server 200x. It’s especially surprises me that the ADO.NET team would choose EF and EDM over LINQ to SQL as the O/RM tool for their lightweight SQL Server Compact Edition.”
