Hello, I am a front end developer working on a small social network. Currently, we are using SubSonic and it has satisfied all of our needs. Since Microsft has stopped supporting LINQ, I want to know how this will affect the development of SubSonic if at all. Is there any reason to move to ADO.net?

A:
Microsoft has not stopped supporting LINQ. I think you might be referring to LINQ to SQL, which is a completely different animal. If you're developing with SubSonic, you should have no issue with LINQ to SQL support.

And even if one does refer to Linq to SQL they have not stopped supporting it, its just that they're focusing their development efforts on Entity Framework

LINQ is in no way going to stop being supported.
If you're referring to LINQ to SQL, you'd also be mis-informed. LINQ to SQL is indeed evident in .NET 4.0 / Visual Studio 2010.

I would also like to add: Linq and Linq-to-sql and two VERY different things.
I find it so frustrating that so many people don't understand this

Perhaps it will be less frustrating for you, if you take a few minutes to explain briefly, what the difference is.
Seriously... I would like to know.
