Another acronym bites the dust

According to Redmond Channel Partner (http://rcpmag.com/news/article.aspx?editorialsid=10776), Microsoft is removing the word “Office” from the full name of its premium SharePoint product for the 2010 release. It will now simply be called Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. This is nothing new for the software giant, as their product names typically change in some way with each major version.

So if MOSS is no more, and MSS is used by Search Server, what will we call SharePoint Server? I don’t know about you, but I’m going back to SPS - SharePoint Server. Come on…who’s with me?
