Hey 8Forums,
I was pondering to myself at the Kernel # that Win8 will have...I know this is early to talk about this but it is an intriguing subject...
If they redo the kernel for Win8 than it might be 7.0!

Version number? 6.5

I guess it will start from version 8.xxxx

I meant the 6.2.****...like Windows 7 is 6.1.7600.16385, will it become 6.2?

I dont think it will become 6.2.xx because i guess 6.2 will be for windows 7 service packs. So i guess windows 8 will have versions that will start from 8.xx

The only reason I could think of for it remaining in the 6.x area is for application compatibility with Windows 7 and Windows Vista Originally Posted by dinesh

yeah it could be true but we cant ignore windows vista sp3 and windows 7 sp 1 and 2. (sometime in future).

Actually Vista SP1 and SP2 was 6.0.6001 and 6.0.6002...following precedents than 7 would be 6.1.7601 and 6.1.7602 Originally Posted by dinesh

I guess windows xp was build 2600 and then windows vista was build 6000. See the jump.

Could possibly be 6.5-7.0.
