Hmmm, "few hours"? :( Alex you are disapointing me :)))I can only guess that someone withdrew its clearance to post news about OS, that you have allready got tip it will be approved.Or maybe you are just possesed with evil spirit of Paul "I have to mention ORMapper in every post i make" Wilson? :))Domagoj Kovač

Hey, I make lots of post without mentioning my ORMapper.  Of course when O/R mappers are the issue at hand . . .

To keep your curiosity satisfied: Microsoft should be coming with an announcement on ObjectSpaces (in fact I was told this was going to happen yesterday, hence my "few hours"). I do know what this is, but I also want to make sure that it is OK for me to blog about it. So, no stupid countdowns on my part or unwillingness to share the information. Just a pointer to keep your ears in the air for news.

I was just asked to wait with blogging until a public announcement is made at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/DataAccess. That should be today or tomorrow.So I'll guess we will have to wait. Sorry about that.

Due to the pushback of MBF I can only think of two things:- the pushback of Objectspaces as well. [a]- the release of Objectspaces with whidbey. [b][a] is IMHO very likely. [b] is unlikely, however still I have this thought, here's why: writing an O/R mapper takes time but not a decade. It took me 1 year to write 3MB of C# code, that is WITH gui, and on my own. These guys are working for 3 years already on this layer, have 1 year to go and are with more people. So why it isn't released _today_ is beyond me (except for the generics, but then you release an update next year). I.o.w.: something else is going on, which thus makes [b] unlikely.

So, what you're saying is that I should change my RSS reader from hitting you hourly to, say, every five minutes or so? ;-)

....the tension is killing me!
