So it's still not NT 7.0 as you might expect.<BR/><BR/>In fact your Wiki link confirms what many including myself have been saying all along. It's just Vista with a new name.aikiwolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257742942798609981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983696817965342615.post-67898670091610199892009-01-31T23:54:00.000+00:002009-01-31T23:54:00.000+00:00Yes I have tried Windows 7.

Which begs the question. What do we need Microsoft for? Why pay for proprietary software if it's just aping free software?aikiwolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257742942798609981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983696817965342615.post-59800792574702123742009-01-31T23:47:00.000+00:002009-01-31T23:47:00.000+00:00I'll give you this much MS's version history is pr...I'll give you this much MS's version history is pretty shady, and I have come across a bit harsh.

I have a Dell XPS 720.Now ...LOL I don't have a Mac. I have a Dell XPS 720.<BR/><BR/>Now if XP is version 5 (which I said it was) and Vista is version 6. Where does Windows Server 2003 fit in?<BR/><BR/>Remember Windows Vista evolved out of the Windows Server 2003 code base. Even though it was meant to be a complete rewrite from the ground up.<BR/><BR/>You may think I'm talking crap. You can believe Microsofts chronology if you like. But the fact remains Windows 7 isn't the 7th major version of Windows on the NT family tree. If Window 7 is indeed a new version of Windows as Microsoft would like us to believe then it's the 8th version.<BR/><BR/>If not, Windows 7 is a re-branding exercise. At best it's a service pack to Vista. Not a new OS.aikiwolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257742942798609981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983696817965342615.post-54058081020319253692009-01-31T15:40:00.000+00:002009-01-31T15:40:00.000+00:00I'm tired of hearing people bitch.
