Terrible idea naming to operating systems 7. It confuses people.

Note not positive that Winmo7 doesn't have a release date. I'm just pretty sure it doesn't.

Lastly why did they name it windows 7?
3.XX -> 95 -> 98 -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7
I just don't get it. Also yes I left out ME it was just a less stable build of 98 with newer drivers.

basically (iirc)
3.xx = 3
95 = 4
98 = 5
ME = 5.1
2000 = NT 5
XP = 6
Vista = 6.1
7 = 7
