now we don't know yet if windows 8 will actually be version 6.2 or version 7
if its version 7, there is a good chance that it will be mediocre, with poor features and stability. however, if it's version 7, than it will probably be quite good

If it's version 7 it will be mediocre, and if it is version 7 it will probably be quite good? Make up your bloody mind...
Anyway, Microsoft doesn't seem to be doing logical numbers. Every time they went beyond *.1 the numbers started going everywhere, like with NT 3.5 and Windows Me (AKA Windows 4.9). I doubt we'll be seeing a straight forward version like Windows 6.2...Oh, does that mean we can start taking bets on the new version number?
Anyway, you're partially right, but every other Windows release has been terrible even if it's from the same series as the previously good ones (See Windows Me). I guess we'll see how bad this one turns out soon enough...
