Yeah, Josh, same here. I mistakenly thought LINQ when it release was being another DAL (data access layer) as a whole like NHibernate or Microsoft DataSets Adapters. LINQ means to me now as an add on to ASPNET collection library and as a programming language extension. You can use LINQ on anything that has IEnumerable<T> implemented (e.g. System.Collections library).
