I like VI, but a catchier name would have helped (Vantage sounds better); vSphere sounds like a lame attempt to be cooler than MS. vSphere sounds like an over-reaction to Microsoft marketing in advance, end result being a let down.

It's no different than any number of "made up names" for other products, like Pepsi. I guess we were all hoping that VMware wouldn't resort to coming up with a "made up name" for their product. Lady Data,

It´s a name as good as any. What about Pepsi? Is that a good name for a product, or just an alien-name? Leave it be, obey me! :) C´mon guys, don´t you think youre overeacting just a little bit?

One thing I have hated (and still hate) about HP OpenView as a product suite is how they keep changing the names of all their products, even though the products don't change very much at all. And the names they pick are non-descriptive, too, so not only do you not know what it is called, you don't even know for sure what it is. There are other vendors out there that suffer from this too, not just HP, they just come easily to mind. I don't like vSphere, but I think it is ok. Dumb but ok - as long as they don't change it to something else when VI5 comes out! The name is silly, but if they keep it, all will be well.

But I do think the name changes are confusing people. I can’t care if they call it The Great Space Coaster as long as it’s a solid product. But I do think the name changes are confusing people.
