why did Microsoft use the name Windows 7?

First Windows version was Windows 1.0. Second was Windows 2.0 and third was Windows 3.0. When Windows NT was released, it was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Windows 95, 98, 98 SE and ME (Millennium Edition) were code versioned as Windows 4.0 as all were using Non-NT kernel or 9x kernel.
Windows 2000 was code versioned as Windows 5.0 and Windows XP as Windows 5.1. Next version was Windows Vista which was code versioned as Windows 6.0. Since Windows 7 is the next Windows version, Microsoft decided to call it Windows 7 for easy and better understanding.

1.0: Windows 1.0
2.0: Windows 2.0
3.0: Windows 3.0
3.1: Windows NT
4.0: Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME
5.0: Windows 2000
5.1: Windows XP
6.0: Windows Vista
7.0: Windows 7
         8.0: Windows 8

most common interview mistakes



(a). Arriving late.
(b). Dressing wrong :  make powerfully positive. Dress right in a conservative suit, subdued colors, little jewelry (but real gold, or silver, or pearls), low heels (polished) and everything clean and neat.
(c). Play zombie : If you are nervous you can't smile and make the eye contact
(d). No smoking, no gum, no drinking.
(e). Research failure : Find out the company's products and services, annual sales, structure and other key information
(f). Can't articulate your own strengths and weaknesses.
(g). Winging the interview : Write out any answers you have difficulty with, and practice until your delivery is smooth (but not slick).
(h). Talk, Talk, Talk.  : interrupting the interviewer and answering to a simple question with a fifteen-minute reply
(i). Failure to connect you to the job offered.
(j). Not asking questions - and asking too many : Use your research to develop a set of questions that will tell you whether this is the job and the company for you.
(k). Bad-mouth anyone : You don't want to look like a complainer.
(l). Asking about compensation and /or benefits too soon.
(m). Failure to ask for the job :  when the interview over, convey your interest in the job and ask what the next step is.
