Why is Windows 7 named "Windows 7"?
Counting client releases of Windows NT, not counting x.xx releases:
Windows NT 3.1 (1)
Windows NT 3.5 (2)
Windows NT 4.0 (3)
Windows 2000 (4)
Windows XP (5)
Windows Vista (6)
Windows 7
Not even Microsoft managed to explain it.
Maybe they plan of claiming that the economy is hurting them and that they need a bailout to come up with a more original name for the next version of Windows.
Because they can.
From what I understand, Vista's internal name was Windows 6, and code named Vienna. Windows 7 is the same kind of internal number that Windows 6 was to Vista, so don't be too surprised if they end up calling it something else....they just might.

I think they did this:
Windows 3.1 = 1
Windows 95 = 2
Windows 98 = 3
Windows 2000 (or NT, whatever) = 4
Windows XP = 5
Windows Vista = 6
They said it was the 7th big Windows release, not the 7th NT release, so...
By the way, i'm not sure of this
Try calling Bill: I'm guessing he knows.
