More AutoCAD flavors to come
It looks like we will see higher number of industry-oriented AutoCAD versions in near future. Now it is (besides AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT) only AutoCAD Mechanical and AutoCAD Electrical (previously also AutoCAD Map - now it is Autodesk Map 3D).
But Autodesk plans to release a P&ID version of AutoCAD - AutoCAD P&ID (see the announcement) and there are rumors that Architectural Desktop will be renamed to AutoCAD Architectural (a more suitable name IMHO, "Desktop" doesn't mean anything) - so we will probably see "AutoCAD Architectural 2008". But I doubt that Autodesk will rename also the other remaining "Desktop" applications (as they are dying now): Mechanical Desktop and Land Desktop.
