Maybe if DTC is disabled... but by that note, virtually everything is
a contender... almost *any* configuration change could potentially
break something... all our code will always be at the mercy of the
services that the OS and runtime provide
Actually, TransactionScope is supposed to work even if DTC is
disabled/uninstalled, as long as you don't do anything that causes
promotion. I've actually got an open bug report on Connect about this (i.e.
it failed for me when DTC wasn't installed), but I've been communicating
with a tester at MSFT who's working on the bug and he can't get it to
reproduce. Indeed, when I tried to repro it myself, I couldn't do it
either - as long as the transaction doesn't need to be promoted, DTC should
not be required.
