I don't know why it would be referred to as Windows 7? From my estimation, shouldn't it be Windows 9?

Windows 3.11
Windows 95 (windows 4)
Windows 98 (windows 5)
Windows 2000/ME (windows 6)
Windows XP (windows 7)
Windows Vista (windows 8 )

But then, of course, some of the OS releases were not really that much different from the previous version.

 

Windows 95 and 98 count as windows 4.
Windows 2000 and XP count as windows 5.
Windows Vista counts as windows 6.

Each group used a different system structure.

Eg. Vista has a "Users" directory and XP/2000 use a "Documents and Settings" directory

 

Vista is the 6th release of the NT kernel, so 7 makes sense as a name for the next Windows version.

 

It doesn't because I doubt the kernel will be updated to version 7 for the next version, seeing that current reports say it will be mostly an optimization and improvement of Vista.....
