windows versions 1-3, 95(4), 98(5), ME(6), xp(7) and vista(8). This isn't counting the NT line which coincides with the release of NT 4 with win95(4). I suppose if you count 95, 98 and ME as all the same OS's which they weren't you might reach 7. This doesn't count 98se either. Either way I think this shows MS and the NYT's can't count.
