That is the internal version number. And the difference between Vista and / is not as big as they want it to sound like. Vista has become much faster over the years, but people still bad mouth it because the memories of that slow first version won't die. That is why Microsoft want Windows 7 to sound like a whole new OS. But take a look at these test results: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/w...view?page=3%2C3 and http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?...chmark-results/ If you compare Vista to Windows 7, the performance is more or less equal. If you take away the results that only give a highly marginal difference (0-2% in both ways), then Vista WINS over Windows 7 in these tests with 9-8. Both Vista SP2 and Windows 7 are based on that slow first version of Windows Vista... Sure, improvements have been made, but I don't consider Windows 7 to be that overwhelming groundbreaking new OS that they claim it to be themselves... “Windows 7 is actually 6.1″ is no nonsense.

And of course 7 is actually 6.1--just a marketing ploy to distance themselves from "Vista". Sounds to me like OSU9400 has the correct answer.

ME/Vista/7 all belong on a tip. If only noobs weren’t noobs, then they’d realize just how similar the shite pile was between vista scrap and 7 junk. ME/Vista/7 all belong on a tip.

That's just nonsense; the name 7 was just a marketing thing and now they're bending over backwards trying to justify it.
