Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

http://news.com.com/2009-1014_3-5103...l?tag=nefd.top

"Microsoft has changed the name for the next version of its Tablet PC
operating system, which is code-named Lonestar. The update will carry the
name Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 instead of having a 2004 moniker,
although Microsoft said it is still slated for the middle of this year,
along with Windows XP Service Pack 2."

"We had been referring to it as 2004, but with a mid-year availability
date, we determined a 2005 name would suit it better, and for a longer
period of time," a Microsoft representative said in an e-mail on
Wednesday. (Source: CNET)

Isn't that an oxymoron?? Microsoft OS and long time? Don't they change every
6 months??
