Some stats from Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 395,000,000 for revolution
The first relevant link was the runrev homepage (14th) The most
prominent links (and text ads) had to do with heartworm medicine for
you pets. Also note that the next generation Nintendo game station
is also called Revolution. Once that ships I think runrev is going
to be lucky if they are on the 14th page of results with this keyword.
Results 1 - 10 of about 157,000,000 for Transcript
No relevant links in the first 10 pages. Very common word, text ads
referred to college transcripts
Results 1 - 10 of about 4,850,000 for revolution transcript.
The 7 of the first 10 sites were for relevant websites. There were
no text ads displayed. (Perhaps that is a marketing opportunity for
someone?) For someone that wants to find out information about
Results 1 - 10 of about 22,100,000 for revolution programming
Similar results 7 of the first 10 sites are relevant, but the 5th
site was about Nintendo's game station... Again no text ads.
Results 1 - 10 of about 66,800,000 for revolution language
2 out of the first 10 are relevant.
Results 1 - 10 of about 30,000,000 for transcript language.
The first 4 links are relevant (for a total of 5 of the first 10)
I am not Search Engine Optimizer or anything like that, but it looks
to me as the inclusion of the word 'transcript' really narrows the
search results and produces more relevant links than just
'revolution' Now I am sure runrev will do their best to update all
of their references, but the do not have any control over third party
links, plus once Nintendo's Revolution ships I expect runrev to be
buried under all of the gaming website links.

It may be the case that Adobe, Macromedia, Netscape, Apple,
Asymetrix, and other companies with strong market research
departments are not entirely wrong on this.
If you'd like to send me the case studies used internally at these
companies
to support your argument, it would go a long way in convincing one
way or
the other.
As I said earlier, I don't see the change so significant really in
either direction. I presume this was discussed heavily and the
decision was not made lightly, although there are pros and cons for
either. The only thing that makes me somewhat uncomfortable, on the
second thought, is calling a programming language "revolution".
Kinda odd, considering that it is a common word. May be a
compromise could be to retain the name but don't call it be name in
the marketing materials, simply referring to the scripting language
OF Revolution. I find this more clear than "English-like Revolution
is the easiest
scripting language available".
