You are 100% correct. I was classed as a dev/reporter on their next OS at the time code named Longhorn.(I had nothing to do with dev but reported on problems). That OS became Windows 7.0 which was not fit for purpose on release M/S didn't listen but, they had to get a new OS out. They soon followed it up with SP1 to solve the problems we'd reported. It was, to all intents and purposes XP with a different UI.
I still have a Longhorn install disc knocking about somewhere.
Vista, what a joke, they were aiming at Windows 10 then! They had to issue a sevice pack and guess what it was. It put XP OS back under the hood just as they did with Windows 7.
Windows 10 is a totally different beast. I won't give it house room now as I can see what they are aiming for. When W7 updates cease I'll go Linux.
