Sept Orcas CTP missing pieces

I have installed the virtual base and Sept Orcas CTP. It seems to be missing some of the items I would have expected, even items listed in the readme.

Specifically it is missing:
1. Extension methods.
2. Linq support for native C#. aka using the 'from' keyword gives a message "not implemented yet". I can call the templates directly but that would have worked in .Net 2.0
3. Object Collection initializers : aka. var mylist = new List<int> { 1, 2 };
4. Anonymous Types. Though I did not see that this was included yet.

Do I need to install other earlier CTP's to gain support for Linq for object collections. I would have thought extension methods would have been added. Is there a matrix anywhere that shows what is and what is not implemented yet?

Hi Craig,

When i started the Virtual PC that is set for the virtual base and Orcas CTP, i could see only .NET Fwk 1.1 in Win2K3. Do i need to install anything more on that?

The LINQ bits for Orcas can still best be found in the May CTP. The compiler team is still churning heavily on most of the key LINQ bits, such as extension methods, anonymous methods, etc. Everything is coming along nicely, but do not expect the bits in the November time frame.
