With the way previous build numbers have stacked up, I don't see why this would not happen. Microsoft has always kept things nice and even in the past. What better way to release Windows "6.0?"

In the source article Paul Thurrot writes, "According to my Microsoft sources, the current internal Vista build is now 6.0.5920.16384. Whenever Microsoft finalizes Vista--and I'm told it will be on or before November 8--the company will artificially increment the build number to 6000, as in "6.0," which is Vista's version number (aka Windows 6.0). Come on, admit it: You knew Microsoft would pull something silly like that."

Thanks to Novawin™ for the heads up in the forum.

    Seriously why in the hell is this even on the front page? Waste of time if you ask me. =/

    But nobody ever asked you.

    That's what's so funny.

    I'll never understand the people that spend time typing posts online to just tell they aren't interested.

    If you aren't interested, it's much easier/faster to just move on.

    it will most likely be 6000.
    MS has done this in the past.
    XP was 2600
    98 was 1998
    etc. etc.

  12. Skoogie - 27 October 2006 - 23:19

    be nice to me, please. :sad:

    This is the most important news article since sliced bread was first written about.

  15. Cosmos - 27 October 2006 - 23:26

    I missed that one, got a link?

  16. DjmUK - 27 October 2006 - 23:53

    Can't believe you missed the birth of sliced bread

  17. chavo - 27 October 2006 - 23:54

    Sliced bread? What will they think of next, something to replace this square wheel?!?!
