Microsoft has released “.NET Framework 3.0,” it includes four new components, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), formerly code-named Avalon; Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), formerly code-named Indigo; Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows CardSpace (WCS), formerly code-named InfoCard.

Can you sense my excitement? I’ve never been happy about Microsoft re-branding WinFX, WinFX runs under .NET CLR 2.0; the new .NET Framework 3.0 still includes the same .NET 2.0 base class libraries!

We will see LINQ, as well as other changes to the C# and VB.NET languages released under .NET Framework 3.5.
