Why 7?为什么7 ？
There's been a lot of lively discussion since I confirmed yesterday that the official name for the next version of the Window client operating system will be "Windows 7" about how we got to the number "7."一直有很多热烈的讨论，因为我昨天证实，官方名称为下一版本的视窗操作系统将是“视窗7 ”我们如何到了一些“ 7 。 ”
I'll say up front, that there are many ways to count the releases of Windows and it's been both a trip down memory lane and quite amusing to read all the different theories about how we got to the number "7."我会说了前面，有许多方法来计算版本的Windows ，它一直都访问回想和相当有趣的阅读各种不同的理论了解我们如何到了一些“ 7 。 ”
Anyway, the numbering we used is quite simple. The very first release of Windows was Windows 1.0, the second was Windows 2.0, the third Windows 3.0.总之，我们的编号使用很简单。非常首次发布的Windows为Windows 1.0 ，第二次为Windows 2.0 ，第三的Windows 3.0 。
Here's where things get a little more complicated. Following Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Then came Windows 95, which was code versioned as Windows 4.0. Then, Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Millennium each shipped as 4.0.1998, 4.10.2222, and 4.90.3000, respectively. So we're counting all 9x versions as being 4.0.在此事情有些复杂。下面的Windows 3.0是Windows NT的是代码版本的Windows 3.1 。然后是Windows 95中，这是代码版本的Windows 4.0 。然后， Windows 98中， 98 SE和Windows千年每个出货4.0 0.1998 ， 2222年4月一十号，并4.90.3000分别。因此，我们指望所有9x的版本为4.0 。
Windows 2000 code was 5.0 and then we shipped Windows XP as 5.1, even though it was a major release we didn't' want to change code version numbers to maximize application compatibility. Windows 2000的代码为5.0 ，然后我们Windows XP的出货量为5.1 ，即使它是一个重大的释放我们没有'要更改代码的版本号码，以最大限度地提高应用程序兼容性。
That brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0. So we see Windows 7 as our next logical significant release and 7 th in the family of Windows releases.这使我们的Windows Vista ，这是6.0 。所以，我们看到的Windows 7我们的下一个合乎逻辑的显着释放和第7次在家庭的Windows版本。
We learned a lot about using 5.1 for XP and how that helped developers with version checking for API compatibility. We also had the lesson reinforced when we applied the version number in the Windows Vista code as Windows 6.0-- that changing basic version numbers can cause application compatibility issues.我们学到了很多关于使用5.1的XP和如何帮助开发人员检查版本的API的兼容性。我们也有教训，我们加强应用中的版本号的Windows Vista代码的Windows 6.0 -改变基本的版本号码可能会导致应用程序兼容性问题。
So we decided to ship the Windows 7 code as Windows 6.1 - which is what you will see in the actual version of the product in cmd.exe or computer properties.所以，我们决定船舶的Windows 7日代码的Windows 6.1 -这就是你将看到的实际版本的产品在c md.exe或计算机性能。
There's been some fodder about whether using 6.1 in the code is an indicator of the relevance of Windows 7. It is not.有一些饲料是否使用6.1的代码是一个指标的相关性的Windows 7 。它不是。
Windows 7 is a significant and evolutionary advancement of the client operating system. It is in every way a major effort in design, engineering and innovation. The only thing to read into the code versioning is that we are absolutely committed to making sure application compatibility is optimized for our customers.视窗7日是一个重大的进步和进化的客户端作业系统。正是在各种方式的重大努力，设计，工程和创新。唯一阅读的代码版本是，我们绝对是致力于确保应用程序的兼容性是优化为我们的客户。
We're just over a week away from showing off Windows 7 at PDC and WinHEC. I look forward to sharing more soon!我们只是在一个多星期远离炫耀的Windows 7日在PDC和Windows硬件工程大会。我期待着分享更多的很快！
