If you do a "ver" in Windows 7, it comes back as 6.1.7000 Whereas Vista
SP1 is 6.0.6001

  That's our plan here.  We often skip alternating versions anyway.
Keeping up with the Joneses costs a lot and rarely pays off.  I
basically see Windows 7 as a Service Pack for Vista with a end-of-life
date further off in the future.

  It's not like we're talking about something radical here, either.
It isn't like Office 2007 or Vista can do amazing new things,
cutting-edge science.  Windows runs programs, Word is a word processor,
Excel is a spreadsheet.  These are solved problems.
Indeed, I think one of Microsoft's problems is that there's just not
that much more to *add* to Word that's worth the cost.  But stockholders
expect perpetually increasing revenue, and Office is Microsoft's cash
cow.
