Instead, portions of the underlying technology will be included with the next release of SQL Server (codename Katmai) and ADO.NET. Does this spell the end for the true relational storage paradigm that Microsoft has been promising since Windows 95?"

Well lets not get carried away. Sure windows is reasonably polished, but a nicely configured Gnome, KDE, IceWM or WindowMaker with a sensible theme is just as good, or usually better. Of course this is great for people who are trying to get windows users to Linux!
