The Newest Operating System from Microsoft: WINDOWS 7

Microsoft Corp. have annonced thaht the codename of the their new Operating System is Windows 7. This name was chosen because of the simplicity.
The number "7" mean that this release is the 7th windows generation. But, many people say that if , it is the 7th generation it mean that The Windows Me isn't counted.

What ever.. only Microsoft knows the reason of choosing "7" as number version. Happy waiting..!
