ADO.Net vNext I recently got to see a demo of the next version of ADO.Net by Shyam Pather introducing some pretty drastic changes from the current version. They are maintaining backwards compatibility, however they are adding a lot of new features which I think will alter the way data-access with .Net is done in pretty significant ways. There's a fairly well integrated support for more of an ORM approach using a tweaked SQL dialect, for example. Also, there's upcoming support for LINQ...

Shyam does a better job of introducing it...check it out here: http://blogs.msdn.com/dataaccess/archive/2006/06/22/642260.aspx
