    The Windows API function GetVersionEx gives 6 as the major version number for Vista. So number 7 would be the sensible choice for the next version number. You're right though that "Windows 7" seems to be a rather peculiar choice as the official name for the new release.

    Perhaps the marketing guys at Microsoft lack imagination, and they just cannot find a brighter word than Vista?

    Please, don't start them up again. Plenty of people insisted that MS was going to release a new OS every year after Win95 came out... You'll just get them started up all over again.

    I think the Windows 7 name is a secret Nintendo takeover plot ...

    Windows Vii

    :D
