AnswerWhat should we call the service bus?

    Is there an official, latest brand name for the service bus? Originally it seemed like it was the .NET Service Bus, but now I seem to be seeing it more often written as the Azure Service Bus? I am writing libraries that provide service bus support for some open source libraries and I'd like to name my .dll's with a name that will match the official marketing term of the product. Also, in literature and evangelism etc, does anyone know how the bus will be abbreviated? ASB is obvious enough, but .NET Service Bus is not so easy to abbreviate - NSB (already an acronym in use for a .NET messaging prjoect? DNSB? .NETSB?

    Thanks,

    Nathan

    Hello, actually the official name is just Service Bus. Or we can call it the Service Bus component provided in .NET Services of the Windows Azure Platform. The short name can be called .NET Service Bus or Azure Service Bus.
