I'm pretty sure I have a copy of Windows 1.1 laying around somewhere. Never could get it to load properly on anything higher up then an XT, though. Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc. Jupiter, Florida (561) 747-6107

NT made its debut as 3.1 only to show version consistency with DOS/Windows 3x at the time. Windows 95/98/SE/ME were all v4 and subsequent point releases, whose version number was based from the original v1 through Windows 3x which ran atop DOS. NT started at 3.1, then 3.5 and 3.51, and finally NT 4. After that it was no longer outwardly called NT. 2000 is v5, XP is x5.1 and 2003 is 5.2, with the current Vista being v6. You get the idea. -- Mike Gill From: Mark Boersma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 6:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 Dear Windows gods, I was laying in bed last night trying to puzzle out my relationship with Windows. Why is "Windows 7" going to be 7? I'm assuming the 7 indicated a position in a chronological order? Or is there some significance to 7 that I'm missing? 7. Windows 7 6. Vista 5. XP 4. 2000 3. NT4 2. NT3 1.? Or 7. Windows 7 6. Vista 5. XP 4. 2000 3. ME 2. 98 1. 95 0. nt? 3.1? 3.0? prior?
