I believe they changed their mind to include ".NET" because the new WPF, WCF
etc... names caused some people to think it was something totally new and
even perhaps something that would replace the .NET Framework !!
Now with the "3.0" tag, one can think this is an update to the existing 2.0.
I would have said ".NET 2.0 Extensions" or something similar. On the other
hand WPF is really a whole new beast so I'm not sure how it should have been
named...

>3.0 is 2.0 plus additional features (it doesn't change anything in
2.0, it just adds new capabilities). You can also download VS 2005
extensions that adds support for those new features in VS.NET.
I think it was a bad idea for MS to label it as .NET 3.0. Many companies
are still transitioning to .NET 2.0, and here comes a "new framework".
MS should have just labelled it .NET 2.5 so that it's easier to sollow.
