I really hate bashing Sun, but I've gotta speak out against Sun's continued moronic branding. Following in the tradition of "N1", "Java Enterprise System", and the horrible replacement of the good brand StorEdge with the misused StorageTek brand (applied to everything from long time Sun Arrays to Adaptec controllers), comes xVM.
Thanks, forgot about that one.
So the Java name is applied to programming language/VM, entirely different programming language, GNOME fork, Web/mail server, toaster, floor wax, ...
Don't forget Java Enterprise Edition and Java Enterprise system are something completely different.
Java went 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2 which suddenly had to be called "2" but then 1.3 came out and couldn't be called "3" it was "Java 2 1.3". Now there are 1.6 (2 1.6) and 1.7 (2 1.7), will Mustang be called 7 or 1.7?
Tons of products called "Java" which have nothing to do with it. Different brand names for different release levels of the same product (one of which brand names was stolen from the foundation that Sun spun off for "independence", I found out; sound familiar, hmm, Blackdown?).
