That's because their marketing people have discovered that having everything
under the sun share a common name is just confusing and counterproductive.
Perhaps another company could learn something here (see: Websphere)

I'm not going to start a holy war here.  This will be my only comment on
.NET: you have to wonder about the fact that Microsoft has been "debranding"
anything that has to do with .NET and removing the .NET name.  It's obvious
to me, anyway, that .NET is not making any sort of headway into the
marketplace, and the only way Microsoft will get it in is through the back
door (for example, as part of Windows 2003).
