Here's your correction: P# is a name used internally to identify a project
until the resulting product is officialy named. P7 may have been a development
project of the past, but once that product was released the name P7 was
available for use again. 
This is just my understanding of the system, I may be wrong. Hmmm, anybody
at Intel watching? Can two projects have the same name at the same time;
is there corporate control over project names?
