[citation][nom]sunsetblonde[/nom] why can't all the companies just add a number for the next version.[/citation]
They did. 😛
1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 95, 98, 2000 (and all the other Microsoft Os with numbers i didn't meantion).....
100 years ago, people were creating just as much confusion in terms of what came first, second, and third. Go to wiki and look up ford cars in the 1900's and then look at 1910-1920 so on and so forth.
you'll see models go from 1900s Model A/AC, Model B, ect up to T. then in the next 2 decades, you see TT then all the sudden "model A" then AA.
In truth, i find microsoft os names much easier to remember,as in which came first, as the fact that they don't normally switch so frequently to a newer better OS.

Windows 8 next year? I just did a new build and finally installed Windows 7. I was hoping it would last for a while.
Windows 8 *will* blow your mind - they've put a new super-spiffy theme on XP, and will run tons of ads talking about how much faster it is and how much less annoying the (now absent) UAC system is...

Different Again? I'm hardly out of XP and they wanna drastically change it again?
Some of us are Quite content with our GUI not being messed around with all the time. At least Apple changes minor things, but I am not a fan of OSX
[citation][nom]thejerk[/nom]Actually, I'm now leaning towards the title, "Windows 8 : The Ocho."[/citation]
No Way! "The Otto" sounds way better 😛

Maybe we will have literally 4 "windows" for 4 different instruction sets like one for gaming, one for news, one for office docs, and the other for updates and virus scans all open at once like a large projected OS that is motion detectable....

No more friggin' spanish!
No offense, but it doesn't make it cool to be "Not English." There's been an underlying trend with this, and it's kinda stupid.
Who really cares about the name anyway. XP was one of the most popular and it stood for "XPerience". I wouldn't call the system beautiful or ground-breaking, but it worked better than those before it, so yay for that.
They need to chunk support entirely for applications made before XP. Do SOMETHING about DLL hell, drop support for ridiculously old hardware, 64-bit ONLY, new file system, etc.

[citation][nom]ordcestus[/nom]Great point a new file system is in order. ... Anyone second the nomination?[/citation]
Definitely need more path in a new filing system. 255 characters (or whatever the limit is) makes plain English path impossible on filing projects that have many different categories of content that need a hierarchical filing scheme. This is true even in small to medium sized organizations.
I am not a machine - give me longer path.. :/

To everyone complaining about having JUST purchased windows 7 Lisences - Get yourself a Technet subscription. You get 10 keys for EACH version of Windows and EACH edition (Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium ect) and all of their office and server products. All for the low low price of US$250 /year. When you think about it, that's a FANTASTIC price.

i just want to have control over my OS. when i need to get 'permission' from my OS to move a file, i cant help but feel a little confused.
"you don't give me permission, i give you permission! or a take a hammer to you!"
"you don't give me permission, i give you permission! or a take a hammer to you!"
Has $even some new "mind-blowing" "features, not bugs" in petto, that need another ver$ion for fixing?
Or just micro$uxx marketingdroids getting in full attack mode, to set the poor wintarded m$ fankiddie in permanent drool mode - not even a half year passed since the last droolfest...
The last, year long cooked "revolutionary, mind-blowing experience" was vi$hta - the result is well known...

Like Microsoft would ever say "yeah, Windows 8... it'll be crap just like Vista and ME... but, y'know, buy it cause we want to make more money."
As for Windows 8, think of all the marketing tie-ins they could do... Microsoft has often been compared to an octopus where one tentacle (division) didn't know what the other was doing. The head could be that wonderful four-colored logo. Oh, and the new spokesma- er spokesperson? Move over Gates and Seinfeld - we have Octomom!!!!

I just can't wait for windows 15 when the bugs are worked out for holographic displays and universal home computing. 😉
