NewsWin7 isn't even a true beta on
Is Windows 7 M3 Build 6801 Really "Vista R2?"

Win7 isn't even a true beta yet. The version tested was a pre-beta. To make any comparisons to a full blown operating system is like comparing a chasey sitting on an assembly to a running vehicle. When Win7 makes it to a Release Canidate then start making comparison.

Microsoft Unveils the Official Name for "Windows 7"

Windows 1x thru Windows 3.11 should not be considered real Operating Systems, they were more like an applicationlaunched from DOS. Windows NT 3.5x was the real start of the Windows OS even if it looked like Win 3.11 on steroids. To this day I feel that Win 98se and WinXP were the two best OS Distributions released by Microsoft. Perhaps by the next Service Pack release Vista will be usable.

The Generation list though should look like this:

First Generation: Windows 1.x
Second Generation: Windows 2.x, Windows 286, Windows 386
Third Generation: Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11, Windows NT 3.1
Fourth Generation: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0
Fifth Generation: Windows 2000, Windows XP
Sixth Generation: Windows Vista
Seventh Generation: Windows 7

Windows Millennium shouldn't even be considered an OS. It was more a waste of time and disk space.
