Lucky Number Seven?

What is it with this number seven?


When Bill Shakespeare famously wrote the "All the world's a stage..." speech in As You Like It he described, with fearsome accuracy, the seven ages of man. You'll recall it concludes that the seventh age: "...that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
Then we have the the seven wonders of the world, the seven seas, the seven deadly sins, the seven primary colors, the seven notes of the musical scale, and the seven days of the week - to name just seven!
And now another seven to add to our list: Windows 7. But before you get too excited, pause a moment. This is still some way off. But Microsoft were keen to talk to us here at Sky News about their latest operating system even before they send out the first beta release.
