Why is Windows7 called Windows7?

It's not their 7th OS so why call it Windows7? I think they are
practising witchcraft and is why they are using 7.

Order of the Planets as they appeared to the Ancients in an Earth-
centered universe:

1- Moon; 2-Mercury; 3-Venus; 4-Sun; 5-Mars; 6- Saturn; 7-Jupiter

Seven are the planets known to the Ancients

Seven are the colors of the rainbow

Seven are the stars in the plough (The Great Bear)

Seven are the nights in each quarter of the moon

Seven are the directions of the circle

Seven are the power centers of the body

Seven are the planes of the Universe

Seven are the notes of the musical scale

Seven are the Tenets of the Wicca

The number seven has always been a magical and mystical number. The
sacredness of the number seven is taken from Pagan sources, as it is
found in the famous pagan romance, The Golden Ass, by Lucius Apuleius,
who was a priest of Isis. The story is a parable of his initiation, and
he tells how he obtained a vision of the goddess upon the seashore by
night, at the time of the full moon: "Wherefore, shaking off my drowsy
sleep, I arose with a joyful face and moved by a great affection to
purify myself, I plunged my head seven times into the water of the sea;
which number seven is convenable and agreeable to holy and divine things,
as the worthy and sage philosopher Pythagoras hath declared." (William
Adlington's translation, 1566)

The Moon isn't a planet.
Neither is the sun.

And if the phone rings late at night ... you have Seven Days to live.

And the movie Seven was good.

There were 7 dwarves.

7 swans-a-swimmin

7-11 stores

9-2 = 7

7 windows in my living room

people have 7 fingers .... 10 - 2 thumbs - the 1 finger they will loose in
woodworking class

Well, the weird thing is that the development builds of 'Windows 7' are
numbered as NT 6.1. I guess they changed plans at some stage to get it out
as soon as possible, because of Vista's bad reputation.

Windows 3.1 was out at the same time as NT 3.1, and NT4 was current while
