Like with wm2003 (CE 4.0) and wm2003se (CE 4.2)
Pure 100% unadulterated marketing stupidity is the cause of this nonsense. It should have been WM5se, WM6 *should* have been based on CE6.0 which was released a month or two before WM6 was and caused a lot of confusion and swearing directed at M$... I swear, marketing people will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Even the developers of WM thought the name change was a bit dumb.
