Interesting, I always thought their strategy back then was basically to switch Windows to an "evergreen app" like Chrome where the "real" versions are service pack revisions but the "branding" version would always stay the same. Then at some point, the strategy was abandoned and the traditional "a new Windows every few years" model was re-established.
