I must be stupid or something, but Windows 7 is version 7. Duh.
It's not the 7th iteration of windows, it's not the 7th update, it's not the 7th name, but it's in the ***** name.
The poll didn't ask about the technical naming, it asked for the version. Windows XP is the XP version. Windows 2000 is the 2000 version.

The OP asked for the version number, not the name. Windows 7 is the name, as Windows XP and Windows Me and Windows Vista are only names, not numbers. The same can be said for Windows 95, 98, 2000 and the other one that had a name instead of a version number or a number.
Windows 7 is the first Windows since Windows 3.5 to use some kind of version numbering again, but that is external. 6.1 is the correct number.

i am curious. do you know the version number of Microsoft's latest OS? bonus points to the current dot version number. i am thinking that Mac users have a fair sense of their 'evil' companion.
