I think Microsoft will soon planning to release the beta version of Windows Seven after the recent launch of Windows Vista. Why Microsoft named it as Windows Seven, I guess it follows the NT 4, NT 5, i.e. Client: Windows XP, NT 6.0, i.e. Client: Windows Vista, the forthcoming will be NT 7.0 or Windows Seven (7.0).

As I check the domain registrant organization for WindowsSeven.com and WindowsSeven.net, the domain contact information has been in private status in order to keep out of the public eye by the registrant. But I guess Microsoft was the registrant for these two domain names and as usual, the registrar Microsoft was using is the company that called REGISTER.COM, INC.

For the whois records of WindowsSeven.com.cn and WindowsSeven.cn, I found the following information:

Domain Name: windowsseven.com.cn
ROID: 20050402s10011s08059369-cn
