It's official. Windows 7 will be called Windows 7. I applaud this decision. In the past, Windows has used version numbers (3.1, 3.11), years (2000), and even other names (XP, Vista). But I have always preferred version numbers. It goes back to when I was a Clipper developer using the version "Summer '87". Because of updates, you had to check the time stamp on the compiler exe to make sure you had the 2:00 am version. It's so much easier to just check the version number. So hooray to Microsoft for going back to version numbers. I hope other Microsoft teams and other vendors follow.
