This is microsoft, you can't expect it to be logical.

I don't know which would suit me best, gaming or ultimate, guess ultimate would have the gaming stuff built in, guess I'll go for that, in 2040 when they fix all the bugs.

Seriously, they haven't fixed vista yet, stop making new ones and work on the ones you have now. D:

I'll get Penultimate, then when I figure out it's not worth the money I spent on it, I'll "Diagonalgrade and one step forward, like the knight in chess!" and get the Pirated Version.

Very funny picture Shando, thanks

While we were hoping for a bit of naming intrigue for the new flavor of Windows, Microsoft has chosen to simply call it Windows 7. Fair enough, we said, but some netizens are perplexed about where that number came from and, after reading Mike Nash's explanation on the Vista blog, we are too. His numbering scheme goes like this: there were three versions of the original Windows, with NT dubbed 3.1. Then came 95 as version 4, with 98, 98SE, and ME all considered minor updates. 2000 got the next major update to 5, while XP is 5.1, Vista is 6, and this new one is labeled 7. The confusing bit is that it's actually numbered 6.1 internally, a minor version change for the sake of application compatibility. It's still a little early, since the official coming out party isn't until later this month at PDC, but if NT wasn't considered a full step above Windows 3, we're not entirely sure why this should be over Vista. We're also not sure why we care.

2000 and ME were essentially the same

One was oriented at Buisness one at home

If thats your argument

im going to argue that XP Home and Pro were the same

ME stands for Millenium Edition - which was also 2000

Why start at 3.51

Why not 3.1 As that was released a year before it

MS just cant count

They had earlier releases, but I wasn't sure how they were versioned, so I skipped them.
