 据微软Windows产品部门副总管Bill Veghte称，Windows 7远不止是一个服务包一样的更新。当它上市时，你会看到一个全新的Windows 7。

他解释称，在兼容性方面，Windows 7确实可以说是个“副版本号”，因为大多数兼容与Vista的软硬件都能兼容于Windows 7。

但是在功能特性方面，WIndows 7绝对是个“主版本号”。更方便的网络管理，多点触摸功能以及改进后的任务栏等等。

有关WIndows 7只是一个“副版本”的传言大概源于微软将下个Windows Server版本命名为Windows Server 2008 R2的决定。跟别的更新相比，R2形式的更新变化通常要小得多。下一代Windows Server只是R2版本的决定多少会让人猜测Windows 7是否也是Vista R2？

而微软也辟谣称，撇开那些传闻不谈，显而易见Windows 7是一次大更新，无论是对于消费者还是商业用户而言，Windows 7都是值得更新的。

According Bill Veghte, Vice President of Microsoft's Windows Division, Windows 7 is a lot more than a service pack-like release. It has a lot more in store.

He clarifies it specifically in the area of compatibility. It's a "minor release" in terms of compatibility, because most software and hardware compatible with Vista will be compatible with 7.

In terms of features, it's a "Major Release". Aspects such as easier networking through the "Direct Access" feature, multi-touch capabilities, and an improved taskbar just underline some of the new features of Windows 7.

Rumors about 7 being a "minor release" may have been started or agitated by Microsoft's designation of the next Windows Server version as "Windows Server 2008 R2". R2 releases are usually very small compared to others; with the server variant of Windows being released as an R2 build, it may have sparked some confusion and/or rumors from the tech community that Windows 7 will share the same description.
