Microsoft Velocity

Microsoft has been working on a great venture: "Velocity". I have a great interest in that, since over the past couple of years I have been looking at ways to make cache be more effective for applications. I've started giving talks and demonstrations with Microsoft Velocity. Here are some basics (from a console app perspective):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.Caching;

namespace Velocity1 {
    class Program {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            string cacheName = "MyNewCacheName";
            var cacheFactory = new CacheFactory(
                new ServerEndPoint [] {
                    new ServerEndPoint("localhost", 22233, "DistributedCacheService")
                }
                , true
                , false
            );

            var cache = cacheFactory.GetCache(cacheName);
            var cacheKey = "MyCacheKey";
            var s = cache.Get(cacheKey) as string;

            if( s == null )
            {
                s = "This is my data: " + DateTime.Now.ToString();
                Console.WriteLine("Cache Miss");
                cache.Put(null
                    , cacheKey, s
                    , null
                    , null as CacheItemVersion
                    , new TimeSpan(0, 0, 15)
                    );
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Cache Hit");
            }

            Console.WriteLine( s );
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
