Windows 7 is version (Major) 7. Vista=6, XP=5.
Versioning=Major.Minor.Build.Revision.

Quote:

In any event, Microsoft is positioning Windows 7 as a major release of the OS though the company has yet to justify that description.

3.1 (base), 95 (build differentiation), 98 (build differentiation), = Major 3
2000 (base), ME (build differentiation), NT (build differentiation) = Major 4
XP (base) = Major 5
Vista (base) = Major 6
7 (base) = Major 7

I'm probably off a bit, but still. The creator of that site isn't one to question the developers making Windows. They have every right to version it how they want to. Razz

The reason some will probably say its not justifyble to be a major release change is that its meant to be more of an upgrade in a sense that Microsoft is targeting Windows 7 at being fully compatible with previous drivers from Vista (among many other reasons). What you won't here about on the public side of things from ordinary people is about the deep details of Microsoft Cloud Services which is designed to bring an entirely new user experience. I'm sure Microsoft has a few other things up their sleeve at this point, but I won't go into my personal opinions in that aspect. Wink
