+-   Windows 7 to be called Windows 7... for no reason. on Monday October 13 2008, @09:02PM

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft's Mike Nash came forward today in a blog post on the Windows Vista Blog and revealed the official name for Windows Code Name "7" as simply "Windows 7". The reasoning, by Mr. Nash, is that Windows 7 is "the seventh release of Windows." As much wonderful sense as this makes on first glance, it seems as if Microsoft's marketing teams pulled this number out of thin air: the Windows 7 kernel is version 6.1, and there's no way Windows 7 adds up as the seventh release of Windows anyway."
