Windows 1: No overlapping windows Windows 2: Looked most like old Mac UI Windows 3: The first one most people used Windows 4: Big changes: 95, 98 (4.1) and NT 4 Windows 5: Overhaul: 2000 is 5.0, XP is 5.1 Windows 6: Another overhaul for Vista But Windows 7 should really be called 6.1 or 6.5. There was no big overhaul from Vista. The difference is equivalent to 3.0 and 3.1, or 3.1 and 3.5, or 2000 and XP. CK. Er no, it’s a pretty good reason for “7″, though I do think they’re making a mistake.

Windows 1: No overlapping windows
Windows 2: Looked most like old Mac UI
Windows 3: The first one most people used
Windows 4: Big changes: 95, 98 (4.1) and NT 4
Windows 5: Overhaul: 2000 is 5.0, XP is 5.1
Windows 6: Another overhaul for Vista

But Windows 7 should really be called 6.1 or 6.5. There was no big overhaul from Vista. The difference is equivalent to 3.0 and 3.1, or 3.1 and 3.5, or 2000 and XP.
