Correct me if I am wrong... but wasn't Windows 2000 once called NT 5.0. I remember reading an article when Microsoft changed the name of the OS that said the name change would probably make people forget the numerous delays from NT 5.0. I didn't believe it at the time, but it seems that the article was correct. A simple name change can easily make the general public forget that the product has already missed numerous production dates. Well, just thought I'd at my two cents.
