Windows "7"

[B00tDisk]

Have it; love it.  The install was utterly painless (despite the best efforts of Digital River - you can google up that little disaster...but I digress), everything runs just fine on it, about the only thing I couldn't get working was my 12 year old USB camera (and come on, how long was that going to be usable - 800k pix, USB 1.1...time to upgrade).

WinUAE works just swimmingly! (there!  On-topic! )

Had a very brief chance to play with Windows 7 for the first time last weekend. Here I am thinking that Microsoft has finally moved away from arbitrary names for their products ("ME", "XP", "Vista") and gone back to a nice, sensible naming scheme based on version numbers.

Not so! A quick glance at the "About Windows" entry in the help menu reveals that Windows 7 is actually Windows 6.1, internally.

While it's true that Windows 7 is barely different from Vista, you'd think they would have at least bumped the internal version number.

Kindly reconcile the version numbers of Kickstart, Workbench and Amiga OS and get back to me, slappy.

With that said, yeah, I have tried to puzzle that one out to no avail.  Hell the first version of WinNT (the start of the current Windows product line) began with...3.5.  WTF??

(Also I really like 7, and the "barely" difference?  Makes all the difference in the world...)
