Microsoft Windows operating system was first labelled with standard numerical version numbers (Windows 1.0 through Windows 3.11).

Later, Microsoft started using separate version names for marketing purposes, first using years (Windows 95 (4.0), Windows 98 (4.10), Windows 2000 (5.0)), then using alphanumeric codes (Windows Me (4.90), Windows XP (5.1)), then using brand names (Windows Vista (6.0)). With the release of Windows 7 it appears that Microsoft has returned to using numerical version numbers, although the official version number for Windows 7 is 6.1.
