The next iteration of Windows is being marketed as “Windows 7.” Clearly the good folks at Microsoft are terrible at counting, or kinda bad at lying. To wit:
The last iteration of Windows prior to 1995 was Windows 3.1, correct?
That would make Windows 95, “Windows 4”
Windows 98, “Windows 5”
Windows 2000, “Windows 6”
Windows Me, “Windows 7” (or “Windows 6” if you count it as a “lite” version of 2000)
Windows XP, “Windows 8” (or 7)
Windows Vista “Windows 9” (or 8)
Leaving this iteration to be either Windows 10 or Windows 9, depending on whether you count 2000 and Me to be one version or two.
How are they coming up with “Windows 7?”
