What is the next windows going to be? Windows 7? -

For the time being, the next generation of Windows is called quot;Windows 7quot; If you read PC magazine regularly, there s a funny opinion column written by well-known commentator, John C. Dvorak, about the next Windows: quot;Now, of course, the company is beginning to talk about the next generation of Windows: Windows 7. I have no idea how the company came up with Windows 7; by my count it should be at least Windows 19. Let s go over a few versions: Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows/286, Windows/386, Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 4, Windows 98, Windows SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows CE, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. I guess calling it Windows 19 would indicate how they can t seem to get it right.quot;

Yes, actually. Vista is considered by Microsoft to be version 6.0, while XP is version 5.1 (Windows 2000 is version 5.0).

yeah... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7 Its called windows 7 because the virson of windows is 7 for windows vista its virson 6 for windows xp its 5.1+ for windows me its 4.9 etc etc...
