Hi --
The only Windows 7 ng I can find is an Italian one, so I guess I'll post
this here ...
I'm sure I'm not the first one to wonder about this, but I can't find an
answer anywhere. Maybe someone here can enlighten me:
Why is the new Windows OS named Windows 7? It's not the seventh version of
the Windows desktop family:
Windows 3
Windows 95 = Windows 4
Windows 98 = Windows 5
Windows Me = Windows 6 (or maybe 5.5, or maybe 0 ... but still ...)
Windows 2000 desktop = Windows 7
Windows XP = Windows 8
Windows Vista = Windows 9 (or maybe another 0 ... but still ...)
That would make Windows 7 the 10th desktop version of Windows.
Even eliminating Windows Me and Windows Vista from the list would make
Windows 7 the 8th desktop version of Windows ...
So what's the reason for this name?
