That's why Microsoft never really publicly announces the full version name for Windows, and instead uses names for the public. NT4 was the last time they did that. Windows 2000 is 5.0, XP is 5.1, 2003 is 5.2, Vista is 6.0, Windows 7 is 6.1, Win8 is 6.2. If people saw that, they'd think hardly anything has changed.

Interesting point, but I would have expected the analysts to make a new prognosis after they found out that it wasn't going to be a bigger release.
