Actually, I think they are following a logical progression of english
vowels, i.e.,
"A" would indicate a pre-beta release - not suitable for marketing or
Micro$oft quality,
"E" is overused already with all the E-this.com and E-that.com's crashing
and burning,
"I" is the current flavor in IT marketing. See HPUX 11i, Oracle 9i, etc,
"O" will be for "Oh my gods! How will I ever manage this monster!" in the
next generation of systems,
"U" and "Y" are yet to be determined... Or maybe combined into "YU" (why
you)...
Its just a theory, I could be wrong.

"And no amount of training or preparedness can eliminate the almost
certainty that in the middle of your Angry Crane stance, as you transition
to your Combative Monkey to administer the Coup de Grāce via your Ninja
Death Touch, you step on a beer bottle and fall backwards into the juke box
and get your head stove in by a drunk with a pool cue." --Jay Trigg
