When are those coming out? I've been content with XP so is Windows 7 going to be that much better to really warrant a new OS?

 

remember that XP is a heavily modified windows 98 (or is it 96... forget). M$ has this weird thing where they take their main base product and modify it constantly till it doesnt suck so in this case Vista -> Vienna (Windows 7) -> ????.

XP comes from the Windows 2000/NT family of operating systems.

Vista is a new kernel and windows 7 is just an improvement upon Vista.

 

NT family started as the shell for Windows 95 GUI so way before Windows 2000.

I explained their OS strat in a less technical way.

 

Not really the kernel from NT (2000,XP) is very different from 95-98-Me... in fact NT comes from another company who got bought by MS...

Shhh... let him think that he knows what he is talking about.

You also shouldn't mention that OSX and Linux development paths are just building off the base product, like what he things Windows is doing.

 

no sh*t... really.....  I would never have guessed. Geez YDL have only stuck with the CentOS base since it's core was released....

 

Windows NT family

Codename	Preliminary name	Final name	Notes
NT OS/2	OS/2 3.0	Windows NT 3.1
Daytona		Windows NT 3.5
SUR (Shell Update Release), Cairo[3]		Windows NT 4.0	Microsoft originally planned for NT 4.0 to be just a simple "Shell Update Release" to integrate the Windows 95 GUI with Windows NT 3.51's kernel.

cough.. I win? I think so. Windows NT 3.1 I think was just a development stage and never used same with 3.5.

lol. win 9x/me are not based on NT architecture. Even the notes on the table you posted (with very limited information btw) say that 4.0 was just gonna take windows 95's gui.
