Windows 7 is actually Windows 6.1 for application compatibility, because most applications only check the major version number and not the minor version. Windows 7 is version 6.1 because it is very similar to Vista.
Windows 6 = WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ironically enough, Windows 7 is also Windows 6 (6.1 to be exact).
I don't know why Microsoft didn't bump it up a whole major version... I guess they figured it was similar enough to Vista that it wasn't worth a whole version bump but didn't know what to call it so they just called it 7 to make it sound more different from 6.
If you don't believe me, google 'show browser headers' and you'll notice that windows 7 is identified as Windows NT 6.1, and Vista is 6.0.
@AwesomeMcTasty That's because if they bumped it up to NT 7 then the software wouldn't work. It wouldn't recognize the new version of NT, even if it was the same as the last one.
@AwesomeMcTasty Microsoft states that windows 7 was named 6.1 so that it would retain all compatibility with programs designed for vista, without having applications freak out at the dissimilar version number.
@AwesomeMcTasty It is because Windows 7 is along the lines of NT. NT was more stable than 98 (if I am correct), so they decided it was better to follow the stability line of NT, which was why XP was also good. Vista did not follow NT, I don't think, hence the reason it sucked so much balls. Windows 7 is just a version of NT, but upgraded. Windows 8 looks terrible, I might "dual boot" it (what a fuckin joke that'll be xD)
This is worse then you are touting... Windows NT (Window for work groups) windows 3.
That is windows - NT 1
windows NT 4.0 - NT version 2 and 2.1
2000, ME XP - 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
Vista - 4.0
Windows7 - 4.1

@AwesomeMcTasty It all goes by the build of Windows NT. So it is true that 7 is NT 6.1, but it is NT BUILD 7xxx.

Good point.
IMO nobody should ever write software that will only run if it detects a certain version of Windows, but I know it does happen.
