It is a good name.
Vista mkII would have sent out the wrong message I guess
Just because they picked 7, dosen't for a second mean that there wasn't lots of time and money spent.Originally Posted by CountStex

there's lots of research to be done, even with simple numbers
Windows 8 will be a massive hit in asia, for example. Windows 4 would have had the reverse
I'm happy they keeping the 7, I think the numbering scheme was the best and always thought the change to XP (I know it was a joint thing with AMD for their Athlon XPs) and then Vista was a bit crappy, and giving it a year was good but a bit misleading at times. (How many versions of 95 wer there? and 98se, what year was that lol).
Windows 7 just sounds right, its simple and effective.
But CountStex is right, just because its simple and they haven't changed anything, there will have been alot of money spent on research and marketing to simply decide to leave it as Windows 7.

how much does anyone want to bet that this OS goes tits-up aswell?
and you'll need some kind of 16x Core CPU and 32GB of RAM to run the thing..
Why not skip a few versions, and call it Windows OS X ?
As well as what?
The last OS that you could consider going "tits up" for Microsoft was Windows ME.

Windows Vista..
it's nearly 2 years old now, and it still can barely run 'well' on many machines..
there's still a hell of a lot of driver issues and even more driver issues if you have a 64bit version.
it's absolutely pathetic
Oh, so it's Microsofts fault that 3rd party's haven't written perfect drivers?

in the case of my webcam it is..
i have a Microsoft Livecam VX-1000 and it doesn't work on Vista 64 bit, even though they claim it will..
lucky number windows 7, wooo hooo.
Or.. you could actually read up on the thing and discover it'll probably run better than Vista does...
