"start to think" ?
Microsoft went from Windows 2000 to Windows XP then to Vista and then to 7. If people haven't already been thinking that, this isn't what's going to start it, IMHO.
- greenhouse_gas 8y agoYou forgot (especially you're counting consumer Windows, and 2000 was Server windows) 3.1 -> 95 -> 98 (OK. That was normal) -> ME -> XP -> Vista -> 7 (Which should have been 9 If I counted correctly) -> 8 (another OK count) -> 10 -> ? (I don't remember all the Windows 10 releases)
- collinmanderson 8y agoFYI, There always have been actual version numbers under the hood. They kind of messed up 7's number. I guess they had so much trouble changing things from 5.1 to 6.0, they decided another major version bump would be problematic. They apparently changed their minds with 10. 3.10 - 3.1 4.00 - 95 4.10 - 98 4.90 - ME NT 5.0 - 2000 NT 5.1 - XP NT 6.0 - Vista NT 6.1 - 7 NT 6.2 - 8 NT 10.0 - 10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_vers...
- greenhouse_gas 8y agoThinking about it, codebase-wise XP came from 2000 which came from NT4, which could be why 2000 became 6.
