Technically, ECC 6.0 is 2 "technology" versions higher. Following is the terminology/version information for the last 3 ERP product versions:

SAP R/3 Enterprise (4.7x)

SAP BASIS 6.20

SAP ERP 2004

SAP NetWeaver 2004 (BASIS 6.40)

ECC 5.0

SAP ERP 2005

SAP NetWeaver 2004s (BASIS 7.00)

ECC 6.0

The main technology feature delivered with NetWeaver is the integrated J2EE engine (Web Application Server Java).

ECC stands for ERP Central Component / Enterprise Central Component, new version level of SAP R/3 ERP, the latest one as of June 2007 is ECC 6.0. They are also dubbed as SAP V5 and V6 or just SAP 5.0 or SAP 6.0. I think version transition time from ECC5 to ECC6 was too short, It seems like they just consolidated many component versioning in ECC6 with additional patches/support packages. I am sure it will be longer for (probably) ECC7 to come. I found at least 3 differences related to previous non-ECC version.

Hope that helps!
