XP for example, is oft noted as the second finished OS they produced. DOS being the first. 95, 98 and 2000 (plus variants) were all building up to XP and were essentially just early versions of it. Vista would be the first progression of the next OS, Windows7 is likely just a refinement of Vistas features that they experiented with in Vista.
That's interesting ... I always thought DOS, Win 3.1, 95, 98 & ME were regarded as the same technology whilst NT through to Vista (& W7) were regarded as another.
