Windows 8 Plans Leaked: Numerous Details Revealed
I wonder if they will call it Windows 8, given that Windows 7 is a homophone for "Windows Heaven" and Windows 8 is thisclose to "Windows Hate".
Just my personal tinfoil hat marketing conspiracy theory.
edit: removed unnecessary potshot.

Change Windows 8's name. Not that big of a deal.

Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, ...? Could they be more inconsistent?

iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 .... naming means nothing, every company gets wooed by slick marketers and pro
naming people
who mess up any consistency.
