RE: MS doesn't market all that well either??

Hi, is just the name? Or the whole enchilada? :D

Does anyone have a link or something confirming this? I have a couple of
Micro$oft fans and I will love to rub this on their faces... ;)

TIA

         "MS ditching .Net?: For a time, just about everything at Microsoft
was 
        Net-this and .Net-that. Now, the company is quietly retreating from
a
        marketing strategy that some analysts say was a bad idea from the
start. 
        Part of the problem, analysts say, is that while Microsoft was
adding the 
        Net tag to its software products, many people were unable to figure
out just
        what it was. 
        The company is taking the .Net tag off Windows Server 2003, to be
released
        this spring. Microsoft also is re-evaluating the ubiquitous name's
use on
        other software. "
