On the other hand,  I have been trying to work out how the latest
version of windows came to be called windows 7

windows 3.1 - 3
windows 95 - 4
windows 98 - 5
windows ME - 6
Windows XP - 7
Windows Vista - 8
Windows 7 - 9 ?

if you take the above list, which is i think all the versions aimed at
home users,  windows 7 should really be windows 9, if you take each of
the above to be major releases.

so Windows 98SE is not listed, but would still be version 5,

Any ideas.
