You know you’ve got a successful product when everyone cares about the name. Since we’ve posted the June CTP, we’ve received feedback that the name was causing some confusion with some partner products. We care a lot about the partner community and have decided to change the name, again.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to answer questions about how Express and Everywhere compare. Calling it Compact Edition worked for several reasons.
