Windows 7 Name Announced
by Wyatt WalterMicrosoft has officially announced that the next version of its operating system originally codenamed ‘Windows 7′ will indeed be called Windows 7 once released. Microsoft has used a variety of ways to name its operating systems over the years, including version numbers. They’ve used version numbers such as Windows 3.1, years the OS was released such as Windows 98 or 2000, or other names such as ‘XP’ or ‘Vista’. They’ve even used a combination such as in Windows NT 4. Incrementing versions from NT 4 until version 7 is a bit confusing since Windows 2000 was version 5.0 and XP 5.1 or 5.2. Microsoft has stated simplicity as one of the core reasons for the decision. My personal favorite was in one of the comments on the blog entry: “Windows Vista NT” – to remind us it’s not the old Vista.
