Eh... no they don't. It's been called "MS Windows", and "MS Office" and the like for like 15-20 years now. :-) In fact I can't think of any case where Microsoft have renamed any technology... They do however from time to time rewrite things completely from scratch, but keep the name. :-) Windows 2, Windows 3 and NT have completely different code bases, but the same name. They did however include reasonable backwards compatibility from the start, which Zope3 didn't. And yes, that caused some problems, but since Bill Gates don't pay us, it was necessary. Heck, "MS Basic" was a core technology between the start of the company and up until C# came along, and I defy you to try to run a 1970s MS Basic program in the MS Word Basic extension! :-p -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
