Last week saw the official launch of ‘Windows 7’, the desktop operating system successor to Windows Vista. However, contrary to Microsoft’s branding of its new operating system, Windows 7 is in fact Windows ‘version 6.1’. Because no IT manager likes a ‘point-zero’ release of anything, Windows 7 should in theory appeal to organisations planning desktop system upgrades, just as Windows XP (version 5.1) did soon after the release of Windows 2000 Professional (version 5.0).
