In a quick announcement today on the company’s Windows Vista Team Blog, Mike Nash, the corporate vice president of Windows product management revealed what some already suspected: Windows 7 will be officially called… Windows 7. He went on to explain that the company opted to keep the '7' name for simplicity – as this is the seventh release of Windows – and because Microsoft doesn't want to come up with a new “aspirational” name that simply wouldn’t do justice to their goal of staying firmly rooted in the ideas of Vista while evolving and refining the operating system.
Personally, I like the fact that they are keeping it simple and I’m looking forward to learn more about Windows 7 in the coming weeks. So there you have it, what do you think of the ‘new’ name?

Got something to say? Post a comment-
sounds more of like something i'd got for.... unlike Vista. I like the simplicity in the name, but hopefully it does not only that in namesake but in the actual OS. I'm looking forward to it being a heavily fine tuned Vista so that i can jump straight from XP to 7.All eyes on 7 for me.

I like it, it's the OS itself that makes a name for the product not the other way around.

Its better than going from Leopard to Snow Leopard, I'll say that much.
