This is not completely true. Microsoft is dropping the ".Net" name from the
new server. Microsoft is not dropping .Net. It is not real confidence
inspiring that this is the 4th change in the name of the as yet to be
released server, but Microsoft clearly recognizes the threat posed by Java
and after 3 years of .Net development and 1 year of full release, they are
hardly going to fold .Net up and go home.

Any way to confirm this? Sun's website has no mention of this, and it
doesn't sound right.
