I want to rant about their naming conventions. by Fussbett 05/15/2009, 11:28am PDT
Windows 3.1 "Hey, that's a little confusing for the mainstream."
to
Windows NT "This one has a special name because it's the server version. New Tech!"
to
Windows 95 "Now the average person know the year it was released. Pretty good!"
to
Windows 98 "Yup, keep upgrading."
to
Windows 2000 "Well, this one is actually Windows NT2, so you might want to stick with 98 actually..."
to
Windows ME "OK, this is the latest home version release, but ME stands for Millenium Edition, so still kinda year-based..."
to
Windows Vista "Yeah, Vista comes after ME. Time to shake things up again."
to
Windows 7 "Windows 07? No no, not 2007. Just 7, man! It's the seventh version, everyone knows that! (Vista was hated, let's put distance between us)."
