Is this a joke, or just some proof of serious drug use in the project managment/product design area? On what planet is a 'Virtual Server' equivalent to a 'Web Application'!?

Nope - no joke timmy!
Someone was smoking the wild tebaccy when they made that decision me thinks...not sure where the terminology came from - no doubt it was passed down through a few geeks internally, when one of them thought it was a good idea :) Then when they got complaints about how confusing it all was, they got someone in to review the wording (that'd be my guess anyway) or at least it was part of the overall planning for v3.0.

They have said that they changed it because of the conflict with their 'virtual server' product ;) hmmm.

Catch you round mate.
