Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server

metamatic writes "C|net is reporting that Microsoft is dropping the name "Windows .NET Server" and going back to "Windows Server 200x" (where x is currently expected to be 3). Other products with .NET in the name are also being evaluated for renaming. Analysts are being quoted as saying that slapping .NET on so many Microsoft products has confused people as to what .NET actually means. Or could it be that customers know what it means, but nobody wants to buy it?" Obiwan Kenobi points out a similar article at ENT News

[spullum69]

microsoft (is) .NOT worth the money
windows (is) .NOT a business server .NET lets bugs slip right through
Office (is) .NOT an internet application (or very fast for that matter)
Visual Studio (is) .NOT something new
Windows (is) .NOT stable
the Micro$oft XBux, it's .NOT even a threat to Playstation or Gamecube
Microsoft (is) .NOT an innovator
Microsoft (is) .NOT the answer
Microsoft (is) .NOT an equal player in the industry
Microsoft (is) .NOT to be trusted

Windows (is) .NOT user-friendly
Windows (is) .NOT an original product (or even their own product)
Windows (is) .NOT going to boot up this time

product monikers for future M$ products: .SUX, .BILL (founder of M$ and what you pay to M$), .MS, .NT, .DOS (the real truth), .WIN .BLUE, .BUG -> my favorite

let's try some of these out
Microsoft Windows .BUG Server
Microsoft Windows .BUG Home Edition
Microsoft Windows (really is) .DOS
Microsoft Plus! for Windows .BUG (more bugs 4 j00)
Microsoft Windows .BILL 21st Century Edition 2003 .BUG -> OK, I'm done
