jerry Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I just like Windows 2006. 585511788[/snapback] Nah, Longhorn is scheduled for late 2006, so it would probably make sense if they named it Windows 2007. That is only if they are going the year nomenclature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyout Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 actually wouldn't it be windows 8.0? i mean: 1.0 (1) 2.something (2) 3.1 (3) 95 (4) 98 (98SE, NT4) (5) ME (2000) (6) XP (7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 And the expedition would be the loooong road to Longhorn I believe? At least I found them a sense, but it still sounds awfully bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 2000 was NT 5.0, XP was NT 5.1, 2003 Server was 5.2 (AFAIK), so this is either 5.3 or 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radium Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Windows 1.x Windows 2.x Windows 3.x Windows 4.0/4.1 = Windows 95 Windows 4.2x.xxxx = Windows 98 Windows 4.3.xxxx = Windows Me. ----------------------------------------- Who different branches. Windows NT started at 3.x to make it easier to understand the version numbers. ----------------------------------------- Windows NT 3.x Windows NT 4.x Windows NT 5.0 = Windows 2000 Windows NT 5.1 = Windows XP Windows NT 5.2 = Windows Server 2003 Windows NT 6.0 = Longhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted February 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2005 actually wouldn't it be windows 8.0?i mean: 1.0 (1) 2.something (2) 3.1 (3) 95 (4) 98 (98SE, NT4) (5) ME (2000) (6) XP (7) not even close... ME WASNT 2000! and 98 was 4.1 not 5, 2000 was NT 5.0 and XP was 5.1, so Longhorn would be 6.0 if there is major changes added to make it worth a 6.0 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
