The message I'v received is: looking forward we should really use Entity Framework in as much as possible; LINQ to SQL is basically in maintenance mode: it won't go away any time soon but it won't evolve significantly either. Meanwhile Entity Framework is evolving and also being integrated with other products/frameworks like RIA Services or WCF Data Services.

I don't know if it was just sales-speak, but we had a MS guy come into our shop to introduce us to Visual Studio 2010, and he indicated that MS still has teams working to grow EF and L2S separately.

Microsoft will NOT depreciate LINQ. I guarantee it.
