So has Microsoft stuck with a naming convention for more than 2 releases?
Looking at the program loader days --
Windows 1.0
Windows 2.0
Windows 3.x
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME
- not really. 1.0,2.0 3..... was close
Now the real OS lineup -
Windows NT 3.1
Windows NT 3.5
Windows NT 3.51
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP (full details)
Windows Server 2003
Windows Vista (full details)
Windows Server 2008
Windows 7 (full details)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 8 (full details)
Windows Server 2012
I would give them points for server 2003,2008,2012 if they were not spinning Vista and 7,8 at the same time.
Going to have to say they were doing ok with the NT numbering, but we know NT was not done by real Microsoft People, when the Real Microsoft (tm) got ahold of it, it became WindowsXP.
