Vista Version

What is the latest version of Vista Home Premium? Mine is 6.0. If there is a
later update, is there a way to update mine?

All current versions of Windows Vista are 6.0

There have been hotfixes and other updates issued, available via windows
or Microsoft update. But none of those have changed the overall version
number. There is rumor of SP1 coming possibly some time next year, but
historically service packs have not changed the version number, though
the full version may become 6.0 SP1 or something similar. Historically
the version number that you refer to is only updated with a whole new
version of Windows, whatever comes beyond Vista.

Vista means Windows 6.0 and Windows 6.0 means Vista. They are synonyms, and
there is no other version of Vista.

Similarly, Windows XP means Windows 5.1 and Windows 2000 means Windows 5.0.

Names like Windows 2000, XP, and Vista are just marketing names for the
"real" names, 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0.

Yes but how about if you include all the versions of windows rather than the
ones that give you a pretty pattern?

You missed 2, 3, 3.1, WfW3.11,NT to name a few.

No. What I see showing is your own personal prejudices.
