Watch Windows 7 video describing older versions of Windows Posted: 26 Oct 2009 03:44 AM PDT Windows 7 is now released worldwide following October 22nd, many of them are liking the new OS from Microsoft.I am totally loving it. Currently in RTM build but once it expires planning to buy.I am not sure which one to buy though.I got this Windows 7 video Youtube which shows the different earlier versions released by Microsoft.Looks good and i recommend giving it a look. Click here to view the embedded video. By the way have you wondered why Windows 7 is called Windows Seven ? Mike Nash @WindowsBlog explains the reason for it. The decision to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity. Over the years, we have taken different approaches to naming Windows. We’ve used version numbers like Windows 3.1, or dates like Windows 98, or “aspirational” monikers like Windows XP or Windows Vista. And since we do not ship new versions of Windows every year, using a date did not make sense. Likewise, coming up with an all-new “aspirational” name does not do justice to what we are trying to achieve, which is to stay firmly rooted in our aspirations for Windows Vista, while evolving and refining the substantial investments in platform technology in Windows Vista into the next generation of Windows.Simply put, this is the seventh release of Windows, so therefore “Windows 7″ just makes sense. As you can see from the video it shows the older versions of Windows.But if you are still confused why Seven only.VG gave a wonderful explaination how the heirarchy is.First Windows version was Windows 1.0. Next to follow was Windows 2.0 and third came Windows 3.0. When Windows NT was released, it was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Windows 95, 98, 98 SE and ME (Millennium Edition) were code versioned as Windows 4.0 as all were using Non-NT kernel or 9x kernel. Windows 2000 was code versioned as Windows 5.0 and Windows XP as Windows 5.1. Next version was Windows Vista which was code versioned as Windows 6.0.You could see this in your system information about the build it shows the version number and the build number just above the Service pack notification. Since Windows 7 is the next Windows version, Microsoft decided to call it Windows 7 for easy and better understanding.Windows 7 is code named as Windows 6.1 due to backward compatibility. Windows 2000 was code named as Windows 5.0 and Windows XP as Windows 5.1. Next version was Windows Vista which was code versioned as Windows 6.0.You could see this in your system information about the build it shows the version of OS and the build number just above the Service pack notification. Since Windows 7 is the next Windows version, Microsoft decided to call it Windows 7 for easy and better understanding. Here is the summary of what i just explained. 1.0: Windows 1.0 2.0: Windows 2.0 3.0: Windows 3.0 3.1: Windows NT 4.0: Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME 5.0: Windows 2000 5.1: Windows XP 6.0: Windows Vista 7.0: Windows 7** ** Windows 7 is code named as Windows 6.1 due to backward compatibility.
