Aren't they all just polished versions of each other then? So we should still be on windows 1. Until they kill the name windows altogether, and use something like doorway, skirting board, etc then they can go up a number. There i believe that settles the argument!

:D:D Or Alley Cat, Tom Cat, Kitty, Domestic Cat...
Windows ME wasn't polished. In fact calling it a Windows version is rather generous Anyone remember Windows CEMENT?
Is it better than Windows Vista, ME and 8 combined?
Thought you would have gone with Top Cat!
I am one of the few people that actually liked Windows ME and found it good...never had problems with it and found it better than 98 and could never understand why people didn't like it.
Radiator is the best version ever as not only does it radiate a great OS it also warms your room at the same time. Just be careful using it in an Igloo!

I had forgotten about it So you were one of three people who found Windows Mistake Edition ok then? Has Microsoft Radiator already been released then? Must ask them in PC World
OK, I admit to being a bit of a grump these days, but why are we seeing platforms, software, OS's etc wuth such kiddy names?
Ice cream sandwich
Jelly Bean
Raspberry Pi.
What's the thinking behind it? Indeed is there any?
I rather like them. Apple use cat names for their OS updates (Panther, Lion etc.) and Google use deserts. I also think that the Raspberry Pi is an inspired name
I guess we could just call is OS version 10.8 or Google Mobile OS version 4.2 but frankly that's boring to me. A codename is a nice and more human way to identify the OS or device.
Using that logic Windows 7 should have been Windows 6 still, they made it 7 to distance themself from Vista, not because it is actually 7 IMO.
Or 6.1 if the naming system was done the Apple way, with Service Pack 1 being 6.1.2, SP2 (if there was such a thing) being 6.1.3 and so on. That then would make Windows 8 Windows 6.3.
You've just put me in mind of the UK video version of Leona's 'Bleeding Love' where she's fondly writhing against a radiator. :eek: Now that would be a stroke of genius if Microsoft adopted Windows Radiator as a name; and used the appropriate snippet of 'Bleeding Love' for promo purposes.
I like the names for the Android operating system. Like the fact there's a food theme going on. I suppose when they get to 'Y' it will no doubt contain the word Yogurt?
As for Apple's OS. They could go for Pink Panther or even Bagpuss.

Well, yeah...marketing - but they can justify it that was as well...maybe they though 7 just sounded better than 6

Is my Google Earth faulty? I can't find any deserts with these names?
??? They are all deserts / sweets. have a look on wikipedia
No, they are desserts, not deserts.
