I just hope this is not one of those "we're not changing it, let THEM change
it!" kind of arguments. :)
Software names change all the time... remember before Firefox how it was
initially called "Firebird" ?
And SeaMonkey, the new browser-email suite formerly known as "Mozilla" ?
...or "Windows Mail" the product formerly known as "Outlook Express"?
..and Adobe Reader, the product formerly known as "Acrobat Reader"...
After all, you don't have to RADICALLY change the name... in fact I think
"Kernel VM" or Kernel-VM not only avoids this confusion, but also describes
the product better.
I should also note that for the end users, "KVM" reminds them of
Keyboard-Video-Mouse switches....
if you do a Google web search now (English language) you get "KVM Switch"
first, and "KVM" (this project) as the second hit.
BUT if you repeat the google search in another language (case in point:
Spanish), the results are completely different and while this KVM project is
also the second result, the rest of the results in the first page are KVM
switches...

In any case... I'm not trying to force any change... just thinking aloud.
Take this as food for thought. :)
And thanks for the rest of your replies, which were really enlightening...
