Hi,

I did have a post earleir about naming - http://ianblythmanagement.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/what-is-in-a-name/. And suspect that MOM will be used for a while.

I don't like SCOM but find it easy to use rather than Ops Mngr or Ops Mgr or Opsmgr or any variation of that!

Besides, just because Microsoft marketing says something does not make it so. They are not gods!

Ian

Aaah, you're right... I missed your post from last August. In my own last post on OpsMgr, I repeatedly called it SCOM (it's a lot easier to type). All other System Center products ARE abbreviated as you would expect. It looks like OpsMgr was simply unlucky enough to have an abbreviation that sounds very similar to "scum" (which probably doesn't fly too well in focus groups ;) Good times!
