Hmm, JP seems to have a pretty good guess about what my opinion might be. Truth is, even with my geek soul, I don’t care what Microsoft calls their next operating system. I’ve never really cared about the name of any software. Call it whatever the hell you want, my decision to use it is based on how it works, and what people can accomplish with it. If the new OS is a tool that will allow my users to accomplish what they need to accomplish more efficiently, I’ll recommend it. If it doesn’t, I won’t.

Seriously, how many of you hardcore IT folks have time to worry about what they name it?
