Will Vista RTM be Build 6000?

Neowin · Oct 27, 2006 19:08 EDT · Hot! with 86 comments

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."
