The odd releases generally works OK. Never touch the even ones.

You left out several releases.

What about Win 2000?

Just remember: odd-numbered Windows releases, even-numbered Star Trek movies and you’ll be fine.

Your list was a good start, but you mixed the DOS-based release family with the NT-base release family; and in the NT family, forgot NT-3.1. NT-3.5, NT-4, and NT-5 (Win 2000).

You didn’t list Windows 2000. It was not the same as ME. I thought 2000 Pro was not too shabby once the SP’s were in.

Maybe Windows 9 is just another name for a major Service Pack.
