Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows.

Beta means it is still in testing and is not available in the shops yet.

Windows 7 is what Vista should have been

Beta is one up on Alpha and one down on Delta.

That should clarify things for her.

What about epsilon, where epsilon is as small as possible?

(You need to be an old mathematician to appreciate that one!)

Oh, and delta is two down on beta: try gamma...
