Re: [LUG] OT: [Fwd: Tech changes 'outstrip' netbooks]
Very interesting. ÂI would have thought the versions would be:
Windows NT4 = 4
Windows 2000 = 5
Windows XP =Â5.something
Windows Vista = 6
Windows 7 = 7

Interesting. I would make it:
Windows 4 = 95
Windows 5 = ME
Windows 6 = 2000
WTH happens then? Your numbers may be more accurate if MS decide they

2K is another matter.
