Wiki Link: [discussion:213538]

As QueryExpressions don't support everything that FetchXML does the MS code (haven't tried) could be more limited in features.

friism Coordinator May 25 2010 at 10:32 AM	@praty It's a valid point, but I think the FetchXML stuff that can't be mapped to QueryExpression is pretty marginal ("Average" anyone?). Do you have example of FetchXML features you need that aren't doable with QueryExpression?
