Windows NT 3.1 was initially meant to be OS/2 version 3, and was partially developed together with IBM, which is why it has version number 3.
The .1 was added to make sure people didn't think it was worse than Windows 3.1 which was already released at the time.

Actually, you bet there is!

Compared to XP, there are tonnes of useful functions in Windows 7. Compared to Vista, not that much, but at least Win7's working properly before SP2. ;-)
