Also, it runs on the JVM, but is called X#. I mean... I'm honestly speechless.



Doesn't Java have its own "cool" symbol? Anything -# or Iron- implies a relation to .NET, and I see little value in creating confusion around that.

When Microsoft bring out their implementation it will be called "Visual Studio Active Team System IronXML# Server Pro Ultimate".
