No, this was Windows 97.
It could have only been a beta version, but I remember it.

There WAS an Office 97, that is often what causes people to think they've seen a Windows 97.
I know, I was trying to toss him a bone on that one but you had to call him out...

1. Windows 95
2. Windows 98
3. indows XP
4. Windows 2000
5. Windows 2003
6. Windows Vista.

7
I would also argue that "Most Consumers" haven't got a clue what Windows 2003 is either.

Yep, I am clearly in the "most consumers" category and I've never heard of Windows 2003.





(Oh, and I may be biased, but I've long ago learned if Isaac remembers it .... it happened.)

I would argue that since Windows 2000 and Windows ME both came out, fancy that, around 2000, that they are counted as variations of the same release - even though one is VASTLY superior to the other

Moonliner 10-29-2008 10:12 AM
And all of this discussion only serves to support my argument. '7' was selected because it's a cool 'lucky' number.

He's either misremembering for the first time in his life, or he saw some weird hacked version, because Microsoft never put out a version of Windows branded as Windows '97, even in beta.

Alright, I'll pull 2K3 and concede ME.

Windows versions (consumer name / product version):
  • Windows 1.0
  • Windows 2.0
  • Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11 (including Windows for Workgroups)
  • Windows NT 3.1, 3.51
  • Windows 95 / 4.0
  • Windows NT / 4.0
  • Windows 98 / 4.1
  • Windows ME / 4.2
  • Windows 2000 / 5.0
  • Windows XP / 5.1
  • Windows Server 2003 / 5.1
  • Windows Vista / 6.0
  • Windows Server 2008 / 6.0
The next product version is 7.0, but as GD said Windows 7 should really be Vista SP2 and thus 6.1 or 6.2.

*forehead slap* Wow, I can't believe I forgot about that versioning.
