| 712493 | 2008-10-15 21:10:00 | When you think about it, Windows 7 is the seventh OS since 98, which was the first modern Windows OS (as we know it), supporting things like the Windows Driver Model, USB (somewhat), Plug n Play, and things like that. Either way, it should be better than Vista (hopefully). | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 712494 | 2008-10-15 21:22:00 | 1 = who knows 2 = Windows 2 / 2.03 3 = Windows 3 / 3.1 / 3.11 / NT 3.x 4 = Windows 95 / 98 / ME - because they all work the same way NT 4.0 is also 4, that one seems wierd 5 = Windows 2000 / XP (5.1) / Server 2000 / Server 2003 6 = Windows Vista / Server 2008 I have heard that Windows 7 is going to be version 6.1 so I guess pctek is right, there is no rhyme or reason to it. |

| 712496 | 2008-10-15 23:07:00 | 1)Windows 1.0 Windows 1.0 only just made it to the market and was withdrawn due to a major problem, it was replaced with 1.01. Win3.11 for Workgroups was a good OS in it's day Win95 Loved that as I was on the Beta testing team with a few perks. NT4 was a good OS Win98SE also good XP good Hopefully Windows 7 is a winner |

| 712497 | 2008-10-16 01:21:00 | I think the '7' in Windows 7 refers to the 7th iteration of the Windows NT kernel. 3 = Windows NT 3.1/3.5/3.51 4 = Windows NT 4 5 = Windows 2000/Windows XP 6 = Windows Vista 7 = Windows 7 But yeah - if we list EVERY Windows OS ever made... 1 = Windows 1.0x 2 = Windows 2.03 3 = Windows 2.1 4 = Windows 3.0 5 = Windows 3.1x 6 = Windows for Workgroups 3.1x 7 = Windows NT 3.1 8 = Windows NT 3.5 9 = Windows NT 3.51 10 = Windows 95 11 = Windows NT 4 12 = Windows 98 13 = Windows Me 14 = Windows 2000 15 = Windows XP 16 = Windows Server 2003 17 = Windows Vista 18 = Windows Server 2008 19 = Windows 7 That's alot more than 7...... and it doesn't even include all the minor releases! |

| 712498 | 2008-10-16 02:05:00 | Windows XP is actually Windows version 5.1, so it's not a major release (even though it was). jwil1 seems to be correct, although NT started at v3.11. |

Windows XP was actually a minor release - funny how the minor releases are the most popular - Windows 98, Windows XP.... Windows NT 3.1 and Windows 3.1x are completely different. NT 3.1 was the first NT kernel based version - 3.1 was DOS-based. 3.11 was a version of 3.1 that included (basic) networking support. |

| 712501 | 2008-10-16 17:47:00 | 98 and 98SE are too similar to be counted as two. :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
