Windows xp real name

Vista was a major release so it was 6. They were also trying to follow a timeline of a release every 3 years, alternating major and minor I think. The next should be the real Windows 7 and should probably contain huge changes such as WinFS new file system originally intended for use in Vista Saikat Basu The numbers were more of an internal thing.

For retail, they were given the names we know them with. Windows 7 was a departure. Here's why from the Windows Vista Blog :.

While I know there have been a few cases at Microsoft when the codename of a product was used for the final release, I am pretty sure that this is a first for Windows. You might wonder about the decision. The decision to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity. Over the years, we have taken different approaches to naming Windows.

If you're on a work computer or an otherwise non-personal machine, chances are pretty high that you won't have access to the registry editor--and even if you do, you probably shouldn't be making changes to the computer's registration. Even if you don't think there will be an issue, remember that there can be legal ramifications to tampering with a machine's registration.

Check with any system administrators first! Changing a personal computer's registration can render the computer unclaimable in the event that it is stolen; it can also reset your saved wifi networks, as workplace and school wifi providers rely on your registration staying consistent. Open the registry editor. Registry editor allows you to make changes to system software and hidden files, which is what you'll need to do to edit the default username.

To open the registry editor, go to Run, type in "regedit", and click "OK". This should bring up the registry editor, in which several folders should be viewable in the left-hand corner of the window.

You may encounter a pop-up window asking you if you're sure you want to open registry editor. Click "OK" to continue. If your system sends you an error message that states your ineligibility to access registry editor, you're probably not cleared to make changes to software on that specific machine.

Expand the relevant data tree. Make sure you're expanding these files, not just clicking on them. This should result in an extensive list of all the sub-folders appearing. Change the registered owner. Click on--but don't expand--a file labeled "CurrentVersion", then scroll down to an item labeled "RegisteredOwner" in the right-hand pane and double click it to bring up the value editor.
