NT5 was a very substantial upgrade from NT4 -- some estimates pegged it at 50+% new code on an OS that had ~30 Million lines of code. XP (NT 5.1) has some fairly large differences, but nowhere near enough to be called NT6.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yes, I know that XP has much less changed under the hood. I just thought 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 sounded better.

Saw this once: take "VMS" and increment each letter by one, a la "HAL" in "2001: A Space Oddysey".
