Need clarification for these names, R/3, WAS, NetWeaver

Hi All

It's my first time posting question here, though I have used/developmented on SAP systems for 2+ yrs. The question may sound silly, but it indeed confused me a lot.

Thanks in abvance for any response for it.

From what I knew, the SAP backend system was once called R/3, or R/3 Enterprise. So we have SAP 4.6C R/3, SAP4.7 R/3. Then later it came WAS, such as WAS 6.20, WAS 6.30. Then the NetWeaver came, such as NW04, NW04s.

For these versions, the upgrade path is as folloing:

R/3 4.6C-->4.7

WAS 6.20 >6.30 >6.40

NW 2004-->2004s.

Is it true that R/3 4.7 is the same as WAS 6.20, and WAS 6.40 is the same as NW04?

Thanks again for any input
