Well Windows 7 was named 7 for a reason, it is the 7th edition of MS Windows.

Previous versions of Windows:
1. Windows 3.1 / NT
2. Windows 95
3. Windows 98
4. Windows 2000 / ME
5. Windows XP
6. Windows Vista
7. Windows 7

Of course there were minor versions before 3.1 and various in betweens but those are your major releases.

Hope this helps!

  this site:
  http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screensh… has screen shots of just about every OS with a graphical user interface ever made. For windows, it goes all the way back to version 1.0. It's outdated though, because the latest version it shows is an early build of Vista, which looks nothing like the Vista we ended up with. It's a pretty good museum type page.
