    Another reason for the change, Davis says, is the .NET aspect of the
    operating system is not the primary selling point.

    Microsoft won't drop the name .NET everywhere...

      In another article, it is suggested that applications which were once
      described as ApplicationName 'For Windows' had the 'For Windows' dropped
      leaving just ApplicationName , and that the other product names would also
      have the .NET dropped eventually also. I don't know how they are going to
      manage this because they still need to differentiate between VB Classic and
      VB.NET for example.



      I hope its not too soon as I have just registered a company and domain using
      the .NET extension.



      Lets see, but in any case, change always comes, and eventually we die.

                The Framework is numbered 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, ..., not Framework 2002 and
                Framework 2003.

                  Herfried,
                  I know but I was refering to the article about disapearing from the name
                  Net.
                  I know without a reference anymore.
                  :-)

                    Thanks for the newsflash! This decision was made many moths ago. As others
                    have said in this thread, the .NET aspect of the Windows Server 2003 OS is
                    not the major selling point, so it may make sense to drop the .NET from the
                    name. So, we'll probably not see SQL Server.NET or MS Exchange.NET or
                    BizTalk Server.NET.

                    I doubt .NET will get dropped from VS.NET or VB.NET since .NET is the major
                    focus of those products.

                        I remember I read the story about the ".NET" in product names some
                        months/weeks before Windows 2003 was released.

                            Well what I've heard is that they dropped .NET from Server 2003 because it
                            made it sound like it was written in .NET.

                            Microsoft Windows .NET

                            or Microsoft Windows 2003, with .NET technology...

                            Let's all write an OS in VB.NET, using System.Reflecti on. Hurrah!!

                              "wonderful" me stays informed. :)
