On Monday Microsoft released the Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 beta bits for public download.
In addition to the usual performance enhancements, bug fixes and stability improvements, the SP1 betas offer widely anticipated data access technologies.
The .NET 3.5 service pack includes key components promised by Microsoft, namely the ADO.NET Entity Framework 1.0 and ADO.NET Data Services 1.0 (formerly code-named Astoria), a framework for building on-premise REST-based data services.
