SharePoint 2010 - I want to start a trend

Since we called Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 MOSS what are we going to call Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010?   MSS is already taken as an acronymn (Microsoft Search Server) but I would bet it catches on in the general population.  I was thinking we would call it "Mizz S" or "Missus".   Maybe take some leeway with the acronym and call it "MiSS"?  Any other ideas?

Why not keep it as simple as "MOSS 2010".

Why is MSFT so interested in too many names anyways :)

They dropped the "Office" from MOSS, so that's not a "valid" name anymore. However people will probably keep saying MOSS. As a matter of fact, lots of people say MOSS for WSS solutions still... Drop the acronyms alltogether ;-)

I will say "SharePoint Server" and "SharePoint Services" - that's not really hard to type, nor to say ;-)

I've already suggested MSP2kX, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!

I tend to agree with Tobias ...I have already stopped using MOSS word and prefer to use either Sharepoint or Sharepoint 2010 in my discuss.

Though I would love MiSS or MiSS 2010 for vnext :)
