Windows 7 is NT 6.1 to be precise. NT 6.0 was Windows Vista. NT 6.2 will be Windows 8

Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993. It was a powerful high-level-language-based, processor-independent, multiprocessing, multiuser operating system with features comparable to Unix. It was intended to complement consumer versions of Windows that were based on MS-DOS. NT was the first fully 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 are effectively Windows NT, although they are not branded using that name.


Windows NT introduced its own driver model, the Windows NT driver model, and is incompatible with older driver frameworks. With Windows 2000, the Windows NT driver model was enhanced to become the Windows Driver Model, which was first introduced with Windows 98, but was based on the NT driver model.[17] Windows Vista added native support for the Windows Driver Foundation, which is also available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and to an extent, Windows 2000.

Have you ever used a WP? I have been using a Samsung Focus for over a year now and even that early model shits on iPhone 4 and any Android phone overall. I have worked for a telco for quite a while and was never impressed by either iPhone or Android. Windows Phone was the only device that impressed me with its simpliciy and nice easy interface. The icon style interface sucks and it's been too long. Blackberry should now be called Dead Rotten Berry! Android is just a bad copy of the iPhone which demonstrates how much Googles lacked imagination and had to rob Apple's creation. There are too many broken stuffs on Android and its mounting as time goes by. I am software developer, and I can see the way Microsoft has designed the interface of Windows Phone, Apple and Google are set K.O as they are stuck with their old boring icon grid style interface. Social network integration is way better done on Windows Phone. Email experience is as good or slightly better than on iPhone. Office integration is present and working pretty well. Xbox Live integration as well. Windows Phone Tell Me voice control may not be as funky as iPhone Siri, but you can tell it to launch an application unlike iPhone if I am not mistaken On the Windows Phone I can pin almost anything, (contacts, a URL, a song or music album, application with live tiles), on the start menu. Oh yes Live Tiles gives you the bare minimum feedback without you having to open an app to figure out what's happening. You are always kept informed of whats happening and what is important to you. It's plain simple and easy to use. It may not have a dual core or quad core right now but works fast enough without those; it should be addressed in the next hardware specs. By the way, Apple copied a few features from Windows Phone, as Tweetered by Joe Belfiore, the designer of Windows Phone.
I wonder why, one of my mates whose tongue had turned brown by licking Apple's arse for too long, has dropped his iPhone for a Samsung Focus S recently
And yes Windows Phones smokes every other device out there!

Don't believe this! Wozniak would never say a windows phone is better than his own product without an ulterior motive!

Anyone who rushes out and buys a windows 7/7.5 phone now will not be able to upgrade to windows phone 8 later this year. WP7 has never been a real threat to apple, but Windows 8 in all of its flavours could very well be!

Sneaky eh!

I bought an Iphone in August 2007 and switched to Windows Phone in Feb 2011. My wife has an Android phone. I agree with Steve WP7 vs Android no contest Android is a freeeken mess. WP7 vs Iphone I think the longer Steve uses it the more things he'll find that he likes better about WP7. It's more than just as good. It's a little bit better. I'll give you a for instance. In IOS you have to go to two different places to say I want all my email downloaded. You have to set both the number of messages and time in WP7 it's one question. This guy sitting next to me in a meeting yesterday who has had an Iphone for a year (and has a PhD) hadn't figured out how to do that. I have a pretty long list of tasks that I have found are simpler to preform on WP7. I hope it catches on and Android goes bye bye.

In addition to my WP7 and my wife's Android phone we have a Ipad. So yesterday I send an email from the Ipad. I open another email and the email app crashes. So I'm not sure whether the first email was sent or not. I get to the sent items folder on exchange and it starts downloading sent items since last Oct starting with last Oct. Wouldn't you start with most recent. So after two minutes and it's on like last Nov I go get my WP7 and in two seconds I find that yes the email was sent. True story, Ipad blown away by Windows Phone!

It's apparent you missed the sarcasm in my post, and your Wikipedia cut and paste didn't back up your Windows 98 claim. No thanks!

Based on Windows 98 tech? Huh. Here i was thinking that they stopped selling DOS based operating systems 10 years ago. So Windows 7 is not using NT kernel and is running on DOS 7? Now the name makes sense!

Better than android? I have a new windows HTC phone I've been testing and it's terrible. Plus, customers just don't buy them. Steve lies, it's not even close to being better.


It's like saying PC is better than Mac, just false.

ok man i understand that android is way better than windows mango but you are hell off on the second part, a windows pc has million times more potential than mac, the people who use mac either like its look or dont know crap about using windows:in other case for music and video editing.

No Windows sucks..

You have been duped by the microsoft advertising gimmick.

The Windows NT kernel which ALL Microsoft operating systems have at its core is based on Windows 98 technology.

No thanks!

Woz is only one person. I've been to restaurants that food critics rated highly and they ended up being dumps.

The majority have spoken...just a few links below this article.

"Just for looks and beauty I definitely favour the Windows Phone over Android," Wozniak said in a podcast interview with a NewDomain.net. "Compared to Android, there's no contest."


In January, Wozniak confessed to finding Android-based handsets hard work, but they have plenty of advantages over the iPhone. [\Quote]
and from an article where Mr. Wozniak compares the Android to the iPhone: at http://www.technolog...hone-lot-117736
[Quote]Wozniak says his main phone is the iPhone and that he loves "the beauty of it" as well as its simplicity, compared to Android. But, he says, Android phones are not that much harder to deal with, and "if you're willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there’s more available in some ways."[\Quote]
Lets face it, while there is an admitted eligance to these two competing platforms, Mr. Wozniak will stick with the iPhone (at least for now).
