Naming windows 7

[pebbly]

at the official NAMING launch of windows7 , it was stated Microsoft wanted to get back to windows heyday of win1-> win2000 where people called the os windows (or win) 98 etc and not as in XP or VISTA, do you think it worked , or do you refer to the os seven?

It worked for me.
I call it Windows seven not just seven (but I call Vista and XP without Windows)

7 is too short for me, Windows 7 is not. Neither is Seven.

 

[pebbly]

I kinda like the "Seven". Sounds cool

It's such a departure for MS and really separates it from Vista.

7 is too short for me, Windows 7 is not. Neither is Seven.

I use either way. 7 (or) Windows 7. Depends upon the opponent...

Everyone I know calls it windows 7

 

[jfar]

I just call it Magnificent, for short.

 

[RedBirdDad]

A bit fixated, aren't we?

Everynow and then, you need to change the naming convention otherwise it'll get boring.

98> 2000> XP> Vista> 7

I think we will see 8, before they start using names again.

How about: "The Operating System formerly known as..." and then use some weird symbol...
