"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

if you think that 98 was a minor revision, then you are definitely not talking to MS. Microsoft was talking about windows 98 and ME as if they were new OSs.
you can not say, just because the features and look are similar that MS did not sell it like a new OS.
MS sold them as major revisions. therefore they belong in there. as it stands, the only thing that people have to keep the 6 TO 7 YEAR GAP between XP and longhorn are free service packs.
