Huh? If anything requires constant new version upgrades it's Linux. As another poster mentioned SuSE, despite being much younger product it's already up to version 11 while version 7 of Windows isn't even out yet.
Hi GE, good to see you again.
Really, though, you DO know that "Windows 7" is just a marketing name, no different from "Windows Foo", right? Allow me to pick a nit for a moment here and ask you what you meant.
There have been well over a dozen released versions of Windows. Not seven as you state.
OTOH if you want to look at the internal "NT codebase version" (I'm sure you know what that is), you find that Vista is "6.0" and Win7 is "6.1". So you're wrong on that angle too, should have said 6.
Except that even THAT is just a marketing name, since NT started at "3.1" to align with the current DOS-based version. There was no NT1 or NT2. You can't "count" the number of Windows versions based on the names.
So I assume you're just joshing around, tongue planted firmly in cheek, about there being seven versions of Windows because the one coming out is called "Windows 7". Right?
I’m using Debian 4.0 on most of my machines. Your silly argument fails.
Also, please note that I did not mention upgrades. I was referring to the unfortunate feature of Windows which results in having to occasionally reinstall it to get it to run right again.
