Microsoft released Windows 7 on 22 October 2009 still many of the people do not know why Microsoft used the name ‘Windows 7′. Well i have an answer for that 1 Why Microsoft Used the Name Windows 7 ? Windows veteran Mike Nash posted at ‘The Windows Blog’ the reason behind the name, ‘Windows 7′. If you are still confused with the various Windows versions here is the explanation. The first Windows version was Windows 1.0, Second was Windows 2.0 and third was Windows 3.0. When Windows NT was released, it was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Windows 95, 98, 98 SE and ME (Millennium Edition) were code versioned as Windows 4.0 as all were using Non-NT kernel or 9x kernel. Windows 2000 was code versioned as Windows 5.0 and Windows XP as Windows 5.1. Next version was Windows Vista which was code versioned as Windows 6.0. Since Windows 7 is the next Windows version, Microsoft decided to call it Windows 7 for easy and better understanding.
