Boy do I feel out of the loop... this is the first time EVER that I've heard of this "Windows 7" you guys are talking about! I guess Vista really does suck the big one for Microsoft to be readying the next version of Windows for release so soon... I'm still with XP Pro!

Also, just out of curiosity, how is this next version of Windows considered the 7th main release in the series when the last numbered version of Windows (as far as I know) was v3.1, and since then we've had...

Windows '95 (4th)
Windows '98 (5th)
Windows ME/2000 (6th)
Windows XP (7th)
Windows Vista (8th)
Windows 7 (9th???)

... so how does the new version end up being Windows 7? Or am I just missing something?

 

 You're really out of the loop... ME/2000?  ME was part of the 9X lineup and 2000 part of NT that started with 3.11 and people if you could... ditch the wikipedia... it's not a referance site.. use the referances on Wikipedia to help you... anyone can put anything on that site
