I guess I should clarify a bit. The next version of what is now Win98 was supposed to be based on the NT code set rather than the Win98 code set...this is what has changed. So, they could call it Win2000 Consumer...or something like that. Win2000 Consumer isn't a very good marketing name....which means they will probably end up calling it that.
