Do we have any idea how long (months, years, decades) that it will becalled System i, before IBM changes the name again?

No one knows about System i - yet it is the best
platform on the planet. Why don't they know? Because we keep calling it an
AS/400 - something from last century

I know of a HUGE number of people who refer to Windows ... whatever versionas plain Windows, just as lots more people refer to THE OS not the OS andits version #.

Does anyone know of anyone using Windows XP but refers to it as Windows
95?
