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

I like this paragraph:
<snip>
Smith said Microsoft was making no technology change with the name change.
"It's purely a branding issue," he said. "They've had a lot of problem
explaining .Net. Putting .Net on products in a willy-nilly way only
exacerbates the problem. They've certainly been guilty of that, and this is
a way of policing that."
</snip>

Now just scan/replace .Net with
WebSphere................................................

I think it's just the name.  They're going with "Windows Server 2003"
