"It seems strange to hear LINQ dismissed so breezily..." I may be mis-interpreting this quote, but it sounds like Larry O'Brien is confusing LINQ, which is a general language/framework feature, with "LINQ to SQL", which is a data access technology that is tied to SQL Server exclusively. LINQ (the former) can be used to express queries that target various kinds of data sources, including LINQ to SQL, Entity Framework, in-memory object collections, and others.
