Interesting reading this post now as the versioning listed at the top was
NT 3.5/3.51
NT 4.0/4.5
2000 = NT 5.0
XP = NT 5.1
2003 = NT 5.2
Vista = NT 6.0
Seven = NT 7.0

But if you have seen the final RTM it is 6.1 for Windows 7. They claim its for application compatibility but does anyone know? Is the NT Kernal version 7? or just a minor update? I have read it was built on Vista code so it just sounds like Vista XP edition.

I am currently running the RTM and it seems stable and nice. Even when I did crash my IE8 (due to a website I suppose) it had no over powering affect on the DV video I pulling from an old digital 8 video camera via firewire which I have to say worked great considering the age between the two products.

I’ve read on many blogs that the install process of win 7 would have been faster, but I didn’t really noticed any improvement on it; especially if compared to vista. It takes 35minutes on fast machines and 1hour in slow ones.

[...] Now given that Vista went to market in early 2007 that makes the actual development time of Vista about 2.5 years – not the 5+ that everyone likes to throw around. Even based on those figures of a 2.5 year turn around for a new operating system the idea of Windows 7 being available in 2009 isn’t that far fetched. However there is another little tidbit that got a little flurry of activity in the blogosphere when it was mentioned that Microsoft had something they called MinWin running – running enough to be able to be used in demos.
