Evidence mounting: Windows 7 going modular, subscription

  I don't get the name, it makes no sense from a marketing standpoint at all.

    That's 'cos it's not gonna be named windows 7 when it will be released.

      Given that 7 is apparently regarded as an unlucky number in some parts of the world, I'm sure you're right there.

    Windows NT was Windows 4, Windows 2000 / XP was Windows 5, Windows Vista was Windows 6, And Windows 7 is... Windows 7. I don't know if that will be the final release name or not.

  Did Microsoft look at the structure of Linux systems and figure they could do the same?
  • LogicHoleFlaw 19y ago
    The idea of a modular operating system predates Linux by many many years.
