Seven all-beef patties for seven hundred seventy-seven yen.

This branding gimmick has come to this point. Burger King's Japanesd franchise has a seven-day gimmick for a Whopper with seven beef patties, for seven hundred seventy-seven yen.

This is a co-branded "Windows 7 Whopper". Promotions have gone awry with this.

Let us hope the Whoppers don't crash as often as the OS.

You left out Windows 2000, Windows Millenium Edition, Windows CE, Windows NT, Windows For Workgroups 3.11, and Windows Mobile.

I think the way they got to Windows 7 is that it was actually going to be Windows #111, but a programmer saw three ones and figured it was binary for 7.

Anything that doesn't involve the preverted Burger King, greeting you in bed or peeping in your window, is fine by me.
