Now that Windows 7 is more or less finalised on the feature side of things, with the release candidate around the corner, I thought it would be interesting to look back upon what we thought Windows 7 would be - and what we actually hoped Windows 7 would be. So, I dove into our article and comment archive to see how many of our hopes, dreams, and predictions came true.

That is true Microsoft seems to almost get it correct on their third try. EG, Windows SE was the third Windows 95.
Windows 95 release 1, Windows 98 EG Windows 95 release 2 and Windows 98 SE EG Windows 95 release 3. I wouldn't buy Windows 7 EG Vista release 2. I'd wait for Windows 7 SE. Vista release 3.
Oh! Oh! I can't wait to see what they make or break in Vista release 2 and 3.
Uh! Just a question. If they've fixed it in Windows 7 does it now work in Vista? If so why upgrade?

Nice try, but no cigar. There were 5 versions of Windows 95 lol
1) The original retail
2) OEM Service Release 1 / Windows 95 Retail SP1
3) OEM Service Release 2
4) OEM Service Release 2.1
5) OEM Service Release 2.5
Windows 98 built upon the foundation laid by 95, but included much in the way of new features and improvements, such as being the first Windows to have the Windows Driver Model (WDM for short). This was later utilized in 2000 and XP.
Next time, know your facts before spreading rubbish.

Yeah, but let's not get too excited about it.
