Microsoft has releases STM.Net to DevLab .This will reduce the developer effort for writing transactional code ,not only that now when the demand is growing more and more on multi-processor and parallel programming  handling transaction from different processes and threads becomes more critical.I can recall the NTFS transaction support days when I was looking for how a File will be created only if a certain bit of Code committed and later on found the scenario that it guarantee that File modification and Creation are Atomic in a  different manner that is Transactional NTFS can't guarantee that changes you make to a set files will always be successful, but it can guarantee that on failure the result will always be consistent. See more details here  http://blogs.msdn.com/because_we_can/archive/2005/04/22/411012.aspx. Its time to have a look into the new one the STM.

Microsoft has quietly released the first key components of its .NET Reactive Framework (Rx),
which will allows developers to write LINQ  expressions against events.
Components of the Rx framework were included in the latest drop of the Silverlight Toolkit last month.
A complete version is expected to be part of Visual Studio 2010 and will be supported by the .NET Framework 4.

It will be really interesting to see where we are heading with the Axum/STM.NET/PLINQ/DyradLINQ/Rx .I wonder why not MS mixed everything into one Framework rather than creating many Subsets .Although its Welcome to see many initiatives are we heading into another LinqtoSql vs. Entity Frx?
