We already know some of the directions Windows 7 will be exploring: a system-wide multitouch user interface framework, a focus on performance, all while building on top of the groundwork Windows Vista has laid out. While off-hand remarks have been made concerning the operating system's release date, it appears Microsoft now formalised the release date of Windows 7.

in that case its not a major revision and hence not windows 7.
windows 5 was windows 2000 while windows 6 is vista. i would expect windows 7 to be an incremental update too, but in that case the naming fails and only adds to the confusion.
wouldnt be the first time mindless journalists messed up the concepts though.
