Okay, ever since I been seeing the stupid "Windows 7 was my idea " crap - I just can't keep quiet anymore.
So here goes - here is the primary version of Windows we have seen:
1.) Windows 1.0
2.) Windows 2.0
3.) Windows 3.0 (3.11 for workgroups more common one seen)
41.) Windows 95
5.) Windows 98
6.) Windows ME (Millennium)
7.) Windows 2000
8.) Windows XP
9.) Windows Vista
Now Windows 7 - but its the 10th version of Windows. (I am not even counting Windows NT editions - versions that you couldn't get on low end Dells, HP, Gateway or Server Editions - But the 9 I listed where ALL marketed as versions of windows and sold as "New OS" when released. So what the hell gives? Why hasn't everyone call MS on this crap marketing lie?
And don't get me its the 7th unique Build crap - I guaran-damn-tee there is still windows 1.0 source code somewhere in Windows "7".
Just had to get that off my chest while writing this on my Amiga 939 (That's what I call my Dual Core AMD-939 - if MS can make up a number/name why can't I?)
Later
Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.11 was different. Windows 3.11 was using different kernel (NT kernel). And totaly incompatible with MSDOS and Windows 3.0

-NT 5.2 (64-bit XP)
-NT 6.0 (Windows Vista)
