Build-wise, vista is to Win7 as Win95 is to Win98. And as you can see from the link, releases in the same series (and that's not just a naming thing) are pegged together in the same version. That is to say, Vista and Win7 are apart of the same version because their builds are in the same series. 6.1 isn't just for compatibility reasons, it's because it's just a perfection of 6. Shunnabunich's question is legitimate, and I also want to know if it is going to be a new build or not. ]]>Nov 21st 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/Nov 21st 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/
Win 95 was 16Bit Win 98 was 32Bit thats a pretty large scale difference so you really don't know what you're talking about.
The kernel of 7 is very similar to Vista but they redesigned almost everything else, 6.1 IS for compatibilty !]]>Nov 21st 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/
In fact, you are the one who is wrong. The Windows 9x series is formed from hybrid 16-bit/32-bit OSes and they have a verson of 4.x.

This is akin to Windows Vista/Windows 7, which are part of the 6.x series. Windows 7 was NOT rewritten. Vista was the one where a lot of rewrites took place, setting up the foundation for Windows 7, which is indeed a minor update to Vista.

My take: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 are their names. 5.1, 6.0 and 6.1 are their kernel versions. Like Ubuntu 9.10 having the 2.x kernel.]]>Nov 21st 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/Nov 21st 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/Nov 21st 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/Nov 22nd 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/microsoft-roadmap-pegs-windows-8-release-for-2012-or-just-after/Kinda sad considering nowadays it´s one of their strengths.
