Last week on his blog, Soma announced that Microsoft has officially christened WinFX as .Net Framework 3.0. The blogosphere has both criticized and praised this move. You can read some the reactions here:

I say, what's the big deal? It's simply renaming the thing to follow the scheme Microsoft has been using for years. I agree that the renaming is for the better, although WinFX was a much cooler name than .Net Framework 3.0. The renaming makes sense. A framework is used to write applications and in the future, applications will be written using former WinFX components. However, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter what it's called?
