Bill Gates just announced it to the Tech-ED crowd down here in Atlanta this morning.
What does everyone think??
I think Windows 2002 would have been a better name. Oh well.
Edit:
I just found a link to Bill's speech on the web.
Here's the section...
"So ..NET is built in to Windows XP. Down at the client level we have Passport, we have notifications, we've got XML and SOAP. Up at the server level in the equivalent server release, which comes after Windows XP, that will be at the end of October this year, so next year we'll have the server equivalent, which we call the Windows .NET Server. Previously, those had been referred to by the code name Whistler Server and so we're announcing the product names that those will go by."
For the whole speech...
