I was reading this article about ADO.NET Entity Framework and found it to be very interesting though in the first shot I could not decipher many things. I am reading the article again in order to fathom the real logic behind this.
a) A question cropped in my mind is why we need an ORM framework (in general)?

b. Subjective. I might not be able to offer a good opinion, as I have not used EF.
