Windows 1,2,3, 95,98,ME,2000,XP,Vista,7
So is it Windows 9 really?
But if you add the server versions and NT versions, its like windows 12!!!
12 / 2 = 6!
MAGIC!!!!
Funny note, I had a computer with DOS when I was three, and then my mom started a internet business and we got NT Workstations, then Windows 2000, then i got my own XP machine, then a Vista machine. Now getting a Windows 7 laptop for college (FINNALY)

95 was Windows 4, 98 and ME was 4.something and 4.something else, XP was 5, Vista was 6, and I assumed that 7 was 7, but instead it is 6.1. They could at least call it 7 instead of letting us know we are spending big bucks for a .1 upgrade.

2000 and ME were simultaneous releases, business vs... er... pleasure.

you all got it wrong :-p
After NT4, there was windows 2000 which was NT 5. Windows XP is after Windows 2000 (NT5). Vista is after XP (6). then we now have win7. However, winver shows 6.1 where as vista is 6.0. in deep down, Win 7 is very nicely done well refined viata :-) (thus 6.1).

So how come it's called "Windows 7", but when I open a command window, it says "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]"? I feel cheated!

I guess Windows 2000 should be removed, because it is a business OS, so HA! Its Windows 9!!!!
But, if you count Windows 3.1 as the first usable windows OS, then I guess it is Windows 7...
Is the numbering have to do with the kernel? I heard that Vista and 7 share basically the same kernel, compared to say NT4 vs XP or XP vs 7

Windows that sat ontop of DOS is irrelevant, the current versions are all built on top of the Windows NT (Nice try?) editions. NT 3.5 being the last version that was POSIX compliant IMHO. NT4 next, then 2000 (NT 5), Windows XP as a basic interface revision & Windows 2003, Vista and Windows 2008, Now Windows 7 (the iPhone makeover).

It is just a compatiblity hack.
Switching from 5.x to 6.0 caused so many problems with vista...
